That could work, but I do want to avoid it getting TOO complicated.  I don't
know if color coding is really necessary, as most lugs are pretty well
segregated by geography already.

Some are, some aren't... some are intermingled a bit (I used MichLUG and
NILTC in my example because I know for sure they are a bit intermingled, as
they are also with IndyLUG as well, if you see, for example Scott Sanburn's
spot, which club does it go with? He's closer to where the NILTC tile would
go than he is to where the MichLUG tile would go... but he's MichLUG
nevertheless. Ditto for SMART, SEALUG and PNLTC, which are even worse, they
all have significant Seattle based membership bases).

They also have some overlap of membership (I think most of the Seattle
based PNLTC members are also SEALUG members). North Carolina also has an
LTC and a LUG (though I'm not really sure anyone really considers them
as anything different, the club is an LTC when displaying at train
venues and otherwise is a LUG...). I know other areas have co-located
LUGs and LTCs (and I'm sure some have members who are not members of
both).

I'd vote for flags or tiles for clubs to show where they are centered,
and dots of a single color for people. I like the idea of color coding
by event or year. If care was not taken, someone who moved could show up
multiple times. If you put a dot on for each event you attend, then the
map is always representative of recent location of people. The map can
be cleaned off of dots for older events (where the definition of older
event could even be the last one - i.e. the map only shows the locations
of the attendees of the event it's shown at).
