There have been calls in the past to have a proper management structure with president, secretary and whatnot, it was even proposed at some point to incorporate tclug into a non-profit organization, but for the most part the leadership of tclug has been left to the old timers, Scot Jenkins, Ben 'SuperQ' Kochie, Bob 'Basic' Tanner, Mike Bresnahan, Yaron, Florin Iucha, Ben 'IdiotBen' Lutgens, and yes, Chad 'Chewie' Walstrom. this is by no means a complete list, there are many more and the list changes as some people drop off of the face of the earth and as others join them. Of course TCLUG does just fine and leadership comes in very rarely if ever really. As this list has evolved most of us look at these people as the elders of the TCLUG , while their opinions are not binding they do set the overall tone and are respected, these opinions are a general guide that generally gets followed. when these elders of the TCLUG post i always read their posts and whatever they say i cannot help but respect it. So my advice to all the newbies on the list is this: Learn who the elders are and respect your elders. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
