First let me say to Mark, I really would never disband the group. Even if
no one ever showed up. The original idea was for it be for the people of
Bloomington. Wether I am still here or not, I will always leave the
"BLUG-Howto".

Personally though I have found it disapointing the lack of people showing,
the lack of postings etc. This spans farther than December unfortunatly.
Things have definatly slowed down since summer. I wasnt wanting to give
the impression that I wanted to disband the BLUG. I was just seeing if
anyone was interested in managing it. If no one wants to I certainly would
continue. I was wanting though to see if someone else wanted to take the
reigns. It is very possible that the format that I set up just doesnt keep
people interested in the group. Someone else may be able to attract more
people. All in all though we need to have the pot stirred.  We need to
come up with a change of things that works better. Either in people or in
a plan.

I like Eathan's idea. Alternating months like that may be a good idea. An
informal type get together maybe a good idea for the next BLUG. Are there
any other ideas?
