I'm happy and proud to be a part of IGLU all I want to do is to communicate to the world which will need my services one day -
There are a couple of issues about this. I am not that sure that having an "IGLU" Group or Linux-il group on LinkedIn is the right thing.
The main problem I see with these two is that neither of them
is well defined, there is no real membership and would be hard
for anyone to decide who can be the member and who cannot.
I'd accept if Lior did this (as long as he accepts me to be a member :) but it can easily get to arguments.
For the Israeli Perl Mongers it is easier as it is a (nearly) pure dictatorship :) The problem might arise as I already received 3 request to join our group from people whom were not related to Perl or Israel. In these cases it was obvious but maybe in case of IGLU it will be more difficult to decide.
I though more like having a group to which *HaMakor* members can sign up. Here membership is clear, if you paid your tax, you are a member.
Regarding privacy:
I pre-approved a number of people up-front (only those who were already were registered in LinkedIn) but in general I am waiting till someone signs up to LinkedIn and to the PM group and only then I approve (or not). This way only people who declare by themself that they want to be part of this will be listed. I think if I started now I would not pre-approve anyone, not even those who are already registered to LinkedIn.
just my 2c worth of SPAM
