<div style="margin-bottom:0cm">I agree with Tom. And would thank anyone and everyone who is courageous enough to own and
organise an event. I am one of the many semi-lurkers and I am always stunned at the skill, expertise and talent that attends meetings. Also, as a Linux-novice listening to you gurus I am also one of those who really doesn't know what they
don't know.

<div style="margin-bottom:0cm">But I'm not sure I have seen answers
to WHO or WHAT?</div><div style="margin-bottom:0cm">+ who is the target audience? College/University or man-in-street?<br></div><div style="margin-bottom:0cm">+ do we have a clear view of what a revamped KLUG is
attempting to achieve? Can it be focused up the technical chain and down the technical chain at the same time?<br></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0cm"><br></div>
<div style="margin-bottom:0cm">If we intend some kind of re-lauch,
that implies increased commitment to publicise, support and demonstrate to a wider audience at more venues. Maybe even subscription! Is that what KLUG
members will support - 'cos increased commitment will need more active people. For instance, if your audience is the man-in-the-street, a demo to rebuild or dual-boot a PC using a live-CD?<br></div>

<div style="margin-bottom:0cm">Peter Childs wrote some objectives. Do
people agree with them? </div><div style="margin-bottom:0cm"><br></div><div style="margin-bottom:0cm">All I can add is that I didn't start it.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes Please do.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What was right a few years ago is not always right now, we have to stick with the times and move on, partially in IT. However that does not belittle the work Colin and others have done in the past.</div>
