by LOPSA-NJ has started a mailing list for the people that run technical user groups (LUGs,sysadmin user groups, SAGE or LOPSA chapters, and so on). The purpose of this mailing list is to encourage information sharing on topics such as:
How to promote your group, how to find speakers, how to get started, tips on how to run a meeting, volunteer retention, and anything else related to the running of such groups. The only forbidden topic is who’s computer/editor/OS/language/whatever is better/worse that mine/yours.
To be on this list you must be the chair/co-chair/president/board-member or somehow be in charge of organizing a user group with live, in-person meetings (or be involved in starting one).
