Some form of fundraising would be ideal, but I wasn't thinking of that primarily. Although the idea of user groups fundraising isn't to put the burden on the members pockets. I know with NYCBUG (.org), we are able to raise some money, but figuring out how we can do it beyond 'passing the hat' around at meetings is a big question. Maybe it's approaching BSD-using vendors. . . Not quite sure yet. I was also thinking in terms of making commitments to surveys, circulating the monthly newsletters, etc. George _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
