Why do the two have to be tied together ?
What is the obstacle to having one linux.ie website with regional pages
and one ILUG with regional chapters ?
I dunno about the rest of you, but if I lived in Cork or Galway, I don't
think I'd bother to drive over a hundred miles to sit in a pub in dublin
and talk about linux, I'd rather walk to a more local venue !
Seems like a lot of work organising stuff for cork.linux.ie and the GLUG
as some sort of affiliated LUG, as opposed to all the ILUG members who
happen to be in cork saying "let's go to the pub this wednesday".
