Sounds like a good idea. Some additional thoughts:
- Some of the LUGs are also effectively LTCs, so they should appear on
both maps.
- It might be a good idea to put black dots which show where
concentrations of members are (for example, NCLUG is primarily a
Raleigh/Durham group right now, but if a bunch of Charlotte people got
active, they would be welcome as part of the group). Actually, this
might be more important than the regions covered.
