<pre wrap="">I think you'd do better merging YLUG with [York Geek Club].</pre>

<br>
YLUG, York Geek Club, and 'what going to AgileYorkshire makes me
realise I'm missing', are all different things.<br>
<br>
Closing YLUG and sending its members to YGC is certainly an option,
but I think we're talking apples and oranges: I don't see that it's
"better" than starting a group teaching & practising Agile,
Software Craftsmanship, Coding Dojos, new technologies, new
techniques (e.g. paper-prototyping), case studies, visiting
speakers, site visits... <br>
<br>
<br>
Compare and contrast:<br>

Alas, I've never been to a YGC meeting. If anyone's been to a YGC
meeting <i>and</i> to an AgileYorkshire meeting, please add your
tu'pennyworth here!<br>
<br>
I'm busy this Thursday, so I'll not make it to this month's YGC
either. :-(<br>

Emailed their LinkedIn address this morning. Their LinkedIn page is
badly out of date (February 2011) and contains spelling mistakes,
and their Twitter stream reads like Jonny's personal postings, so
first impressions not good! If someone's got a better route to them,
please invite them along. If they'd like to continue the
conversation somewhere with better notice, they've got my/our email
address...<br>
<br>
It seems bizarre that a group supposedly of webdevs, for webdevs,
has almost zero web-presence...<br>
