[ug-discuss] LAOSUG or SOCALOSUG?

[Laura Ramsey]

Let me know, and I'll love to get that Page and email list up for you.
One thing...Jim has suggested that we make sure we have content for the 
page before it goes live. We've found that some groups get their page, 
but then never populate them. (Note: I"m the guilty party behind the 
empty NE user group page!)

So, when you're sure you're ready to manage that page, send me:

What you'd like to call the group:  (Los Angeles , or Southern Calif. )
What the initials should be (laosug, or socalosug)

and the opensolarisl user id's of the folks you'd want to have "editing 
permissions" for the page.
CC: Eric Boutilier so he can set up the mail list for you as well.

Cheers,
LKR
