Referring to the original topic, from what I see in BIUX -
I enjoyed the central organization particular this year (compared to last year) which made it much easier for me to cope with the organization of things. But still some things should be left for the judgement of the club maintainers. I know that for instance - cards are one of the things I would like to produce by myself, but still need the graphic design as part of the central organization.
In addition, our audience is very wide spread (from CS students and public audience, who are power Linux/windows users,programmers and administrators) and surprisingly the "Free software" lecture was very popular to all of these groups. The W2L lectures series increases the awareness in and out of the university and makes it "in the headlines" to all of these groups. The audience in a lecture may be varied from lecture to lecture - it is dynamic and depend on the topic of lecture. but still, I won't aim the lectures to one single group in particular, in order not to lose the others.

I strongly disagree. The series in all clubs is aimed at the general
population who are advanced computer users (by "advanced" I mean know how to
install and manage a home Windows computer). Students are of course a subset
of this population, but certainly not the primary target. We tried various
forms of advertising. In Haifux we had several high school students, adults,
and also some university students.
One major effort for pushing the series was in a Sci-Fi convention. We
urged the community to invite their family and friends.
The only club I know of that decided to ignore the rest of the activity
and publicize only its own lectures was JLC, and that's a shame. Instead of
assuming your target audience is different, you could have tried to
cooperate.
