[clug-talk] India fest and stuff...

[John Jardine]

I agree - if you're not asking the exec to do something specific which
is a blocking task, just go ahead as a group of like-minded
individuals.  

When/if you bring it to the exec, ask for whatever resources you need.
This forces you to form a case/rationale around why you should be
sponsored and how your goals are aligned with CLUGs.  You'll have a more
focused request which is easier to action.  If declined, you can still
take that request elsewhere as it remains well formed and actionable.

Just my $0.02
