24 hours of roll call, that was fun!
Here is the count:
2 - Unaffiliated
2 - Internet Only UG's
15 - Not in the US
51 - US Mugs (or respondent, I tried to make sure I didn't count a
person twice but not make sure I didn't count the MUG twice)
70 total, not bad.
now I went to this web page and state by state counted MUG's
http://www.apple.com/usergroups/find/
I counted 512 on the list and halved the number to guess at the total
number of active MUG's in the US, 256. From the respondents to Roll
Call, we are looking at about 20% responding here. It is all very fuzzy
and assumes a lot.

I started this email a while ago, sorry if I missed you in the counts.
Why does work keep getting in the way :-(

Ok, so, we can generally say that this list is going to reach about
20-25% of the MUGs. Maybe we should try and increase this. Ideas?
The point is, this all started over noise on this list v. on-topic
posting. We all pretty much agree that what is on-topic is very
subjective, very grey. There seems to be a nod towards this really
isn't the place for tech-how-to's, but, if we just tell people to
"google it" don't we perpetuate the demise of UG's.
But, what I am asking each one of you to do, is when you see a "how
does your user group handle this...." or "Any groups out there
interested in..." or "can someone recommend a source for..." respond,
and respond in great numbers. Don't lurk, be active. It only take a
few minutes, but, you might be the one with the perfect answer for
another group!
Now, this is what a Mac community is about!
One thought, the way this list works it is very easy to reply only to
person not the list. It is a fact we have to live with on this list.
PLEASE, remember to reply-to-all. It could be that COMUG has a question
and GreenvileMUG has an answer, but we would all like to hear it.
Thanks to all of you participating. we should really reach out to those
not here. Also, there were some ideas brought up through out the Roll
Call, start those with their topics.
Again, thanks that was FUN!
