The issue was discussed at tonight's NewTLUG meeting and a consensus was
reached. There will be a NewTLUG meeting April 25 at the show. We are
neither requesting GTALUG's assistance nor asking its permission.

Compliment accepted.

You have my word that I do not now and have not ever passed myself off
as having anything to do with GTALUG, let alone represent it. Any
meetings I have with Plum are done as participant in (and co-founder of)
NewTLUG, a director of CLUE, and a passionate member of the local community.
 
When I meet with Plum it will be to represent what I believe to be the
interests of the user community that I know; the one that wants to grow
the local community and is quite fine with the "no individual work"
provisions. It probably doesn't hurt that I, unlike GTALUG, have a long
and successful track record of working not only with Plum but with all
LinuxWorlds globally:

The many booths I organized have never embarassed the show management.
We always provided added value which benefitted us (as exhibitor),
attendees and show management. And we did it by publicizing the
_group's_ services, not those of members or sponsors.
