Ah, but that's different than saying that we will focus on CS, EE and IS. I see no problem with saying that we will work to expand membership by taking advantage of current membership. I simply worry about relying exclusively on booths and installfests advertised in only a couple of buildings. You're right, it probably isn't worth the time to setup a booth in the RB. If we could get voluteers to work in the ESC it might be worth it. But both buildings can be easily covered with fliers until then. Not to mention trying to get the daily universe to notice us, and exploring other forms of advertising. The UUG should not be about just linux. It should not be just about Free Software. It should not be limited to CS majors. I'm not worrying about what we do right now. I'm worrying about what we don't do. As long as we keep in mind that we have something to offer the entire community, I trust we will make good decisions. If we start thinking that the UUG applies only to people planning on going into careers directly related to computers, we will start making decisions that exclude others whether we mean to or not. -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #define FALSE 0 /* This is the naked Truth */ #define TRUE 1 /* and this is the Light */ -- mailto.c
