Apple Ambassador and web designer at the moment
Our group is around 70 However we get minimal participation at
meetings.
The group started as an Apple II group but no one has been here that
long and the history is lost : (
I do not know the name of the Apple II group and our name was FMUG
once too.

Ok we are coming up on the 12 hours mark for roll call. Again, just
a reminder to get counted, reply to: Roll Call - Stand Up for

This thread is to keep track of responders
So far
1 - Unaffiliated
2 - Internet Only UG's
13 - Not in the US (only listed this way to get a relative percent
of people willing to respond, see below, way below)
40 - US Mugs
Following the fuzzy math I used (assuming there are 256 active MUGs
in the US, I don't have access to the number outside the US, hence
separating out the US mugs from the rest. ) we are looking at 15% -
16% of the possible MUGs are willing and able to respond to a list
roll call.
Europe should be waking in a few hours - some of you have chimed
in, let's hear from the rest of you. About 23% or nearly 1/4 of
all roll call responders are non-US, glad to see it! (Wow, when I
was a kid, I would have never dreamed that someday I would
correspond with people in Singapore, China, Emirates, Denmark,
Germany, Turkey, Melbourne, Caracas - I would say Canada here, but,
somehow as a kid I wasn't THAT insulated. :-D )(Hope I didn't miss
anyone - it's getting late here on the east coast of the US)
Let's see how high this will go.
(It can of fun, and I'm starting to feel a community grow :-)
that's a good thing!)

using the base number of 256 US mugs (it a best guess) we are
still only hearing from 7.5% - 8% of the potential MUG's - not
really scientific at all - just to be illustrative.
Also, the balance of the world needs to chime in (sssh, I think
they might be sleeping :-D )
Give your MUG a SHOUT OUT!! (respond to: Roll Call - Stand Up for

I'll try and keep a count of who is responding - use Roll Call -
Stand Up for Users' Group to actually get counted.
Interesting fact - the Apple site lists ~512 UG's in the US (so
the doesn't even count the balance of the world, I don't know how
to get that data). One point of the exercise is to see how many
MUG's are "plugged in" - Let's assume the 50% of the list are
now defunct groups - 256 will be the number to compare to.
So far we've had responses from:
At 12:45 EDT 10/18
After only a short time we have:
1 - Unaffiliated
2 - Internet Only UG's
2 - Not in the US (only listed this way to get a relative percent
of people willing to respond)
7 - US Mugs
So, between 2% to 3.5% of the US MUG's (see note below) are
hearing this and responding.
sorry non-US MUG's I just don't have those numbers - it would be
very interesting, though, if non-US MUGS responded in larger
numbers than US MUG. Keep it coming!
there is a range there depending on ow you want to count internet
only - I didn't check to see if they were included on the Apple
website.
