<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I
personally like the name WNYLUG. I think it best describes the geographical
membership better than BPLUG or NFLUG. Upon speaking to Brian, he also like the
idea of having a more “Enterprise” level usergroup, and is willing to lead that
one also (it might simply be a sub-group of WNYLUG). So, if it was up to me, I
would merge NFLUG and BPLUG into WNYLUG and adopt the WNYLUG charter and mission
statement for the time being. The next WNYLUG meeting is December
10<SUP>th</SUP>. At that time, there will be voting for the leadership and
acceptance of the mission statement and charter (note, even though Brian is
founding this and taking on the initial leadership, actual voting for all
officers will be done). Anybody is welcome to come and not only vote, but put
themselves up for election.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">Once
this is done, the next item that needs to be cleaned up is the mailing lists. I
would suggest that the only mailing list that remains be WNYLUG. People can
either manually sign up for wnylug, and at date certain, the nflug mailing list
be shut down. I strongly discourage having multiple Linux mailing lists be
active at one time, It only encourages division of our local
community.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
