[ale] ALE-* dying?

[Leam Hall]

Want an outsiders opinion?

Whether or not ALE meetings continue I personally find the mailing list 
very useful. It's my "go to" resource for linux stuff that isn't distro 
specific or when I want an educated but diverse set of opinions.

The question every organization; be it business, government, or social, 
must answer is "why do we exist?". The answer changes, often faster than 
the organization. Some orgs die, some linger on, and a few actually 
manage to grow through change.

There have always been lower grade admins. The same goes for 
programmers, "business analysts", writers, educators, etc. There are 
lots of needs out there; slow websites, where to find the best hosting 
package, open source project needs devs/testers/docs, small office 
networking, the list goes on.

For a group of people who help others succeed, the members need chances 
to help and time to grow themselves. So my recommendation would be to 
take a group look at the options, figure out what is fun for you, and 
start moving in that direction.
