Typically these are SUG "SLUG"s (Sun Local User Groups), and they can pretty much do what they want (charge dues, not charge dues, etc.) It would be interesting to hear what other SLUGs do. If they inform SUG of their existence (get in touch with Peter Salus, SUG's Executive Director, peter@sug.org) then whenever we do something with the SLUGs, or want to communicate with them, they get included in the list (I think someone was supposed to be maintaining an e-mail list of contact people, not sure what happened to that.) The subject of LUG activities with SUG is a perennial topic and I assure you that we (the Board of Directors of SUG) welcome any discussion, suggestions, etc. on this topic (board@sug.org). >"half a slug is better than none" Mmmm, pass the ketchup please! -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | bzs@world.std.com | uunet!world!bzs Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
