Here too.

As a side-note, the reason I came to the open exec meeting in May (I
think) was because I was curious to see the inner workings of GTALUG
(nee TLUG) - after the last time these topics were brought up in
earnest.

I'm a newbie member, but in my view, UG's exist for one purpose and
one purpose only.  To encourage and build community.

Community's value to GTALUG is everything.  It's a symbiotic
relationship driven by... the community.

Glad to be here[1].
