The impression I have is that the main cause of angst in WLUG at the moment is
what level of advocacy we pursue. Opinions range from minimal, (the traditional
level of activity in this area) to maybe lots more...

There seems to be a core membership who do not wish to be involved in advocacy
at all. Forcing more of this type of noise on such people would (my guess) be a
bit divisive. 

My preference is to leave NZOSS stuff out of the LUG, but possibly mention
advocacy (& other) stuff that WLUG members are involved with. 

So if a LUG member is involved in a political/advocacy/NZOSS activity, sure,
let other members know, but keep it very LUG focused.

There is a link to the NZOSS site on the LUG web site for those who are
interested. Respect the choice of those who are not interested.


Just my 02....
