hi Tim and Jim,

I am a member of bjosug core team, there are 7~8 core members in the 
core team, we meet every week to discuss what topics will be talked 
about in this month group meeting, then each core member do rotate for 
delivering the monthly group meeting. We think it is really right to 
keep the whole user group active and give more chance to members to 
improve the leadership. :-)
