Funny, it's one of the first things I missed. But I guess it depends on how you interact with the GTALUG, among other things.
Actually, I'd like to make a correction. I said "User Group", but that's not what I really want/am looking for. I'm more interested in being part of a group of people willing to contribute to Debian, and who share more of the Free Software view/ideals.
But that's fine. I'm already investing some time in finding people interested in this specific subject, and that's one of the reasons I didn't reply earlier.
Some of us do contribute to Debian. Usually I find the Debian mailing lists much better places to do that kind of thing. I just don't see how a local group would provide any benefit there.
I don't think I understand your reply. Perhaps you're not familiar with concepts like sprints, or BSPs (Bug Squashing Parties). I never claimed that I was looking to replace the Debian mailing lists. My intention is to foster the development of Debian by gathering people who are interested in doing so. I know a bunch of fellow developers who have active communities in their countries, and this is a nice way to spread knowledge about the system. Anyway, I honestly don't think I need to keep justifying the reasons here. I don't quite understand the "silent opposition" to the idea, but then again, GTALUG is a completely different group.
