I used to know who the person was who coordinated these kinds of events.
I'll check through my contact information when I get home this evening.
While I'm not opposed to PTC involvement, note that they can be a bit
overbearing. pgh.net and PittJUG are basically sponsored by the PTC,
so they (more or less) own those UG. I'm not familiar with PghOUG. I
believe that there is a strong cultural divide between WPLUG culture
and PTC culture. I don't believe this is insurmountable, just
challenging.
This (to me) is exactly the kind of thing that falls under the PR
committee's charter: coordinating with other groups. The committee
is pretty new, and they still haven't even met, but this demonstrates
(to me) that having such a committee make sense.
