Also a thought on LegOz organisation...instead of states, how about • regions:
QLD and NT => northern
NSW and ACT => Central
Tas and Vic => Southern
WA and SA => Western
NZ and other countries in region => Eastern

I think this might be a slightly heavy-weight organisation for the numbers
of people involved! For example, I don't there are enough Qlders and NTers
for a separate Northern group. Also, unless people live within 1-2 hours
drive of each other, they are unlikely to be able to get together anyway. I
really think that regional groups have to be more city-based than
state-based for any kind of real-life interaction.

As "proof", I point to the lugnet.loc.au.* newsgroups. Other than the AU
group itself, Sydney is the only group with any significant traffic levels;
other cities get the odd spurt of enthusiasm but no really sustainable
levels of traffic. My interpretation of this is that, apart from Sydney, the
rest of us are fairly thinly spread across the country.

Why not just start with LegOz for all Australia (and any of our neighbours
who want to be involved)? If/when regional clusters of people find
themselves getting together (either electronically through a lugnet group or
in real-life), then consider forming a subgroup (e.g. Studs). I think that's
a simpler and more organic approach than establishing a large hierarchy
that's not sustainable.

(...) What about three groups ? 1.NSW and QLD and New Zealand(if they want). 2.VIC and TAS. 3.WA Jane from SA can decide between 2 and 3. The separate group fro WA is because they are quite isolated, nothing personal pete.w (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.org.au, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.nz)

(...) <snipped for space> (...) Kerry makes lots of good points that I hadn't really though about and I think she's right. I had realised that Tas would never make a LUG on it's own but hadn't considered much further than hooking up with Vic. (...)

(...) Yet another good reason for having organisers in each state for LegOz. They can help by handling this sort of thing, and sending the money to whoever will be posting it overseas.
