I wanted to start by soliciting our more involved supporters.
Presumably if someone is subscribed to Activities then they're
interested in how SLUG is run. I have had better luck from approaching
people and groups directly, so this exercise is far from a failure.

I must admit, though, that I didn't expect the response on SLUG's own
Activities list to be so subdued. We have some community members who
do far more than their fair share (Rob is a stellar example), but
outside of that small group I'm seeing contribution diminish with
time. Our BoFs idea is an effort to reverse that trend.
