OK, that's possible.  I could go for that.

That would be good, too.

ACK!  I was really trying to get someone else to be the driving force
behind the whole thing.  I have not the time, nor public speaking
confidence to head something like this up.

Affiliation with AUUG could only help.  It's viewed as the 'main' UNIX
users group, which kindof encompasses all the other smaller UNIX users
groups.  It would be good if they knew of ALUG, and would support it
(which I'm sure they would).
