Education seems to be the only 'encompassing' mission, whether it be from End User, development, integration, networking, 'cloud', back-end, servers, systems management, or any other TLA or FLA that can be dreamed up, to stay viable and know the current direction to go, we must stay educated and to serve others one of the best things to do is to teach / educate them too!
And this seems to be the focus of both of the other LUGs I've been loosely associated with -- Boston and Pittsburgh. Education is why there are installfests, presentation meetings, and even beer-fueled nerd-outs. Usually, centered around Linux, GNU, configuring and installing software on Linux, networking, and the related. So, ya - education.
A non-profit status usually means you'll accept funding, or provide a service/function for payment. Does NLUG need funding, and for what? I suspect producing distro DVDs, literature prints, and possibly PCs-for-the-poor, linux training class space rental, I dunno.
