Regardless of the current indecisions expressed on this list, there 
_will_ be a  local LUG presence at LinuxWorld; it's just unclear for now 
whether this presence will take place from within a GTALUG booth or be 
hosted elsewhere.

What is yet to be determined is whether the brain-trust of GTALUG can 
wrap it collective head around the reasonable insistence that a free 
booth be primarily used to show off the LUG rather than its members.

This is only a contentious issue for those those who primarily want to 
use TLUG to sell their own wares. Within mosts non-profit bodies and 
other LUGs, such interests are held by sponsors rather than members. 
Within GTALUG, they appear to be the prevailing agenda, resulting in a 
lack of collective work and vision. Damn shame.

To that end, I've scheduled an in-person meeting with Plum for later 
this week. As William said in the message that started this sub-thread, 
"stay tuned".

Me too. Thanks for your confidence and optimism, Meng.
