The thread I started and fed a bit, "Geek/Tech/Entrepreneur Stuff to
do in PHX"[1], has spun off into the weeds of "non-Linux" and
"non-group" discussion.  Some of it is very interesting but it is far
afield from the purpose of this email list.  I'd like to try to pull
it back around to direct relevancy.

Given:
- Arizona and specifically the Phoenix valley has many
Geek/Tech/Entrepreneur events and groups.
- Some of these events and groups are weak attempts at marketing or
self-aggrandizement or creating closed clubs or sincere but misguided
dreamers.
- Some of these events and groups truly aspire to great things and
work to make them happen.
- PLUG is, perhaps, one of the later, working to help our community.

Question:
What can we, PLUG and individual members of PLUG, do to improve
community, business, entrepreneurship and life for us in Phoenix?

Comment:
I went back in the thread and read most of it.  There are great ideas
there and good thinkers who don't always agree but have strong voices.
 And I see a great deal of criticism.  And I see little in the way of
what to DO about all the negative things mentioned.  We should be
having a constructive discussion about the "right way" to grow
community and technology in Phoenix, and PLUG's part in that.  Let's
do that discussion.

In my opinion.

Alan
