I get to a degree where you are coming from, and yes no group is the center of the universe, but I don’t think that you are giving a lot of members here true credit for what they do. Or the community leads out there. I also believe that you give too much credit to those that have not been found by the community, no matter how active you are you are going to miss people, especially those that just do not look for a community. And as others have posted there are those that just won’t get that the community or they will not realize that there is a business investment by them too into their groups/community. One point I will raise is that the IT community is quite a lot bigger than any one group, yahoogroup or user group. Most have a unique Mission statement that covers what their group is focused on. It makes the groups a Special Interest, and those interests do not necessary apply or suit those that are currently not involved. What I would recommend is that you throw the Gauntlet down to everyone, not just leads, to build the community, and if there isn’t one start one, if there is one bring two new people to the next event, and another two new member to the one after that and get the populous to build a bigger and better community that we all benefit from, rather than asking those that already invest to invest even more. I look forward to hearing your response. David Thank you Chris for posting a response to my own challenge, and I will cut and paste this to your blog so as there is a public response.
