Well said Raul. I agree.<br><br>Let us not change because we are looking for a location. Let us change because of other more organic reasons (new audience mix, new meeting topics, ....etc.)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

I really think that the KWLUG has gone on quite successfully without the need to define or frame it.<br>
<br>
I don't see the need to do this but I see the risk on doing this.<br>
<br>
We are an eclectic bunch. For me, that's part of the attractive. Lets not try to institutionalize it. If they have a committee, maybe they'll want to talk to our committee, and we don't have one. We've been doing OK without one. We don't even have a "membership", to be a "member" is to participate whenever and however we see fit. Everyone is welcome "as is".<br>
<br>
The KWLUG is what it is for each one of us. Trying to define it to be the same for everyone will just led to discord. Please don't.<br>
<br>
If this thread continues, you'll see that discord bubbling up pretty soon.<br>
