I agree that we "need" some amount of organization... Not too much though. :)
While I'd hate to pay the sob *any* money for squatting, I think it's an
acceptable use of our funds. I also think that we should use the "coffee can"
funds for this.
Mike and I agree that we would need to register the names "North Central Ohio
Linux Users Group" and "NCOLUG" in order to *force* someone to honor those
names... I'm hoping that the Freemont folks back off... (I did do some
research and learned Ohio has 2 CLUGs - the Cleveland Linux Users Group, and
the Cincinnati Linux Users Group. In this scenario the confusion around the
acronym is resolved when they are spelled out. This would not be the case w/ 2
North Central Ohio Linux Users Groups... Not to mention that we were here
first...)
