Just to let you all know: Our Executive Manager Sowmyan met Erik some time back and asked if he needed any help from the chapter.

hi, Frankly, I don't thing there should be any objections on the formation of any groups whether by the Chapter or by individual members in the community or by Staff. This just provides people with a variety of options to join and participate. The groups formed with reference to the Chapter or

Theo, I am not sure where this discussion is going to. Srikanth had specific questions on why the MediaWiki user group and why not a technical SIG instead. At least that's what I gather from his mail. However you seem to be asking why a MediaWiki user group at all. For this you will need to r

Hi Bence, The SIG process is currently located on the Members Wiki of the Chapter, which is accessible only to Members. I think it's high time it is made public so I shall port it to the Public Wiki. While the Chapter does support volunteers of all kinds, the SIG chair has to be a member. This is
