<div style="">You know, this issue pops up about once a year or so.<br>
<br>
How about we just ask who all would be interested in a CIALUG North? It would be part of the CIALUG, and therefore separate from the University and associated issues. They'd use the existing list and IRC channel, 'cause really, we're all interested in the
same stuff. They'd just meet in Ames on their own schedule.<br>
<br>
I'm not looking to take control or anything here, just thinking it might be easier to not re-invent the wheel.<br>

For Ames area people:<br>
<br>
While looking around for a group closer to home recently I discovered<br>
that there used to be an Ames FUG, but it was more or less snuffed due<br>
to student group related bureaucracy. (which as a former president of<br>
the Cyclone Amateur Radio Club I'm all too familiar with!)<br>
<br>
I know of at least one other person who is interested in either reviving<br>
it or starting something new/similar in Ames. I'd be willing to do some<br>
of the footwork, supply homebrew if appropriate, set up a web site and<br>
help organize monthly meetings... and so on if others are on board.<br>
<br>
So if you live in or close enough to Ames that you'd drive in for a fun<br>
monthly gathering of the nerd herd, please email me off list with your<br>
interest, and just for fun, supply a fun idea for a meeting topic or<br>
activity.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Matt<br>
