Many people contribute to PLUG. All of our presentaters, obviously, but
also those who contribute to the discussions by answering or asking
questions.

We also have:

Brian - web site, east side meeting, Stammtisch and steering committee
Larry - Installfests, Ubuntu LoCo cross-communication, steering committee,
web site
Todd - Installfests, Ubuntu LoCo cross-communication
Ŀisa - security meetings
Ėric - Installfests
Ed - dev mtgs
Paul - dev mtgs

There are others that I believe prefer privacy over public praise.

There are also others I don't know about, especially with the
Installfests.

And I probably outright forgot someone. If so, sorry.

That said, we do a lot for a small group and PLUG improves with more
involvement. If this thread is interesting to you, if you want PLUG to
improve, if you want PLUG to do more, if you want to help PLUG: join the
PLUG-planning mailing list. Also show up at 18:00 on Thursday if you can.

At this point I agree.

The main focus being the mailing list doesn't mean we can't have web
forums, e.g. G+ discussion threads as well. That will work better for some
people.

ciao,
