This seems to be the most commonly values LOPSA benefit. And mailing lists and IRC channels are also essentially free to provide. I go to my local LOPSA meetings occasionally but only for the socializing and technical presentations. But I get that sort of thing from the independently organized Linux User Group also. Plus there are lots of independent technical meetup groups to go to for that. We shouldn't ignore the fact that if LOPSA cannot find a legitimate way to provide value to its members (paywalls are not legit IMO) such that they want to join there is nothing that says LOPSA has to exist at all. It certainly shouldn't exist for its own sake. -- Tracy Reed
