Mike: There is some history here that you may not be aware of. Hence my suggestion for CLUE to provide a "service yet to be defined" to LUG's if there is to be a solid funding model that relies on LUG's as funding source points in part. ie: source of funds. A national organization for Linux Users of which LUGS are only a small part will need to present a substantial value propositions prior to releasing a cost formula for LUG's specifically. Otherwise it will just fade ways again. What you are suggesting can be obtained on any LUG list or google search. The key IMHO will be to go way beyond that but that is a bit premature to define "way beyond that" at this time as CLUE has no definition at this time, which I for one am hoping where this discussion will evolve towards sooner than later.
