I don't believe it should be on every single page of the wiki, but you should have wiki pages where people who are using Ubuntu and want more face-to-face interaction with other people using Ubuntu -- and where will they find them? Oh yeah! LUG meetings -- then it would behoove the LoCo to put it up on at least some of them that pertain to activities. You say "on the wiki" Nathan -- tell me you have more than one wiki page, right? Another thing that concerned me since we first compiled the list is that > there have been countless sites that exist to list LUGs and events, and > not a single one of them is complete or maintained.

I don't think anyone's asking for "every single page of the wiki" to promote LUGs, but I do think it works in Ubuntu's best interest to promote LUGs on appropriate pages, as I outlined in my earlier e-mail. > I am, however, very happy and proud that we have a couple Bay Area LUGs > who are providing fliers for our OSCON booth, and I'm sorry that our > booth wasn't big enough to accommodate them.
