It could be a lack of interest, but now I also realize that a
hierarchical, conventional student organization probably does not
incubate hacker culture---speaking as someone who was in BULUG from
2002--2004. We constantly felt the pressure to hold activities---even
just weekly meetings---and it gets tiring really quickly. I think the
BUILDS approach might work, having a space for people to just hang out
and work on their own stuff.
I still have the Revolution OS DVD. Does anyone want to watch it?
