Michael Sokolov, I see your point and your motivation for voicing this opinion. What I do not understand from anyone is the desire to start another group without hashing out the issues they have with the charter. I have voiced some of my concerns about the charter on IRC and in emails to a few LUG members. I have also not had time to get into this on the list. I do not see the point in sharing your dislike for changes while at the same time bailing on the people in the LUG.
I think we should all hold off and talk about this before starting Socallinux 2.0. There is no reason to lose members. Chris Penn...
