most effective, and least
What Ben said :)
I think Balkanization is a worry. On the other hand, the Python and Ruby
SIGs have done a good job of providing a place where practitioners can
get more in-depth information on that specialty (and even on other
alternatives). And the Perl Mongers and Erlang specialists haven't
I should probably start by clarifying that we're not a bunch of Ubuntu
zealots. :-)
Promoting Ubuntu to Windows users is seen as a pragmatic solution. I
personally prefer Gentoo, but handing a newbie a Gentoo install CD isn't
likely to draw him into the fold. You could argue that other distros

Nashua and

lurking around GNHLUG for about over a year (and I've been to a couple of
CentraLUG meetings). By trade, I'm a theme (web) developer, specifically

Well unfortunately I am entering into my travel period again, and
having a time when I could meet physically with y'all is tough. On the

that you could get together (i.e. the evening) would be wee hours for

Question: How would making an Advocacy SIG/LoCo a part of GNHLUG be beneficial?
My Answer: Easy-to-find-stuff-ness. It's much easier to coordinate between
a SIG and a mother LUG than between SIGs in two totally separate
organizations. Think of clapping your hands as compared to clapping one of
