First, thanks to all who have signed up over the past day or so.  I'm
excited to see the interest level.

I would like to propose the following goals for this group (the ZUG-SIG):

 - Increase visibility of Zope-related user groups (including Plone
   groups, Python groups willing to hear talks on Zopish topics, etc.)
   on the zope.org web presence, and on the web as a whole (ZUG
   web ring, maybe?)

 - Share ideas, materials, etc. for user group meetings, local
   conferences, etc.

 - Coordinate events among groups related by geography or interest.

 - Provide a sort of "speakers bureau" catalog, listing folks who are
   willing and able to speak before user groups.  I know from running
   UGs myself that the chair or program person is perpetually short
   of speakers, and that managing somehow to have an interesting
   speaker, month in and month out, is key to growing the group.

Thoughts?


Tres.
