At least I can think of few possible reasons why it's advantageous for these smaller groups to come under LUG umbrella. 1. Keep the FOSS community united 2. Get benefit of the LUG experience and infrastructure to enhance their appeal 3. Reach out to wider audience. See if you and others can come up with more reasons. :-) With regards, -- --Dinesh Shah :-) Shah Micro System +91-98213-11906 Blog: http://dineshah.wordpress.com/ Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dineshah/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
