[Scottish] Re: News Letter April 08

[Andrew Calverley]

I believe that there is already moves afoot to have an umbrella organisation
called ScotLUG.

A whois lookup already shows that some folks are moving in that direction.

My only problem with this is that an overarching organisation would not be a
LUG, rather it would form an organising committee or the like.
