Yet I believe that the majority of effort involved in running the
LUG is spent on non-mailing list activities, primarily the planning
and holding of meetings; finding speakers, premises, the recording
of the meetings, re-encoding of those recordings for the web site
and for google video.
People who never attend the meetings have in my opinion far too
little stake - are largely unaffected by any of the issues they
would be voting upon. The only vote in my memory that had any real
impact upon the mailing list was the one about having public list
archives.
I think that in most cases anyone who will really be affected by the
outcome of a given vote could make it to a meeting.
Cheers,
Andy
