I'd be another.

The last one or two meetings were organised by me and chaired by
David, with support from Sean and KB (that makes your four).

I'll reiterate what I can and can't do.  I'm happy to network and find
and organise speakers, and work out dates that are suitable.  What I
can't do more than once or twice a year is attend the meetings at the
weekend.  Evening meetings during the week would be fine.  We had
agreed (or rather suggested) not to have meetings over the summer,
with the plan being to have a start of term meeting, probably in
September.  As far as I know, that's still the plan.

As for the future, I seem to remember David also mentioning that Bruce
was willing to get more involved again - but this is second-hand.

One of the most important questions would be what do people actually
want?  This could become a separate thread... but my sense is that
Linux and the Linux community has changed a great deal in the 8 years
or so I've been involved in LUGs.  What do we actually want to
achieve?
