I hate to split it up into two organizations. It is hard enough to get people's
time and energy for *ONE* organization.

I think this is the real issue. But I also think that having one organization
with a primary and secondary focus is not that hard...maybe even a third
"focus":
o maintain and coordinate a communications link between the various
free and open source people in the Greater New Hampshire area
(mailing lists and beer drinking)
o encourage and educate others in the use of FOSS
(go out and hog-tie the stupid windows users)
o organize and coordinate events that help promote the first two bullets
etc.

Hey, don't you think the framers of the US Constitution did the same thing?
(Hmmm, did they have fried dough back then?)
I can be there Saturday morning.
