[Koha] Organizational Meeting for (USA) Koha Users Group

[Rachel Hamilton-Williams]

Just to clarify a point made by Deb ...

> company, while users learn and help one another.  It's a win, win, win!
While I'm sure we're all happy for LibLime to grow etc, there are many 
companies and individuals supporting & developing Koha and we'd like 
them all to be strong healthy companies.

One "model" for user groups is to have a user group per "company", but I 
tend to favour a user group per region which hopefully means they have 
the choice of several independent developers and companies, but can 
still get together for meetings. Trying to have a group that is wider 
than a region/country I think will prove difficult to manage and 
difficult to have feel democratic and "fair".

Cheers
Rachel
