Re: [UG-ADMINS] Announcement-List

David,

I don't think you're a fraud.  We have a member with nearly as much
experience as you, and I love hearing his stories and experience!

Your idea that your experience is not "real expertise" and makes you
ineligible as an organizer is VERY wrong.  An organizer should be good at
consistently getting people together, setting them at ease, and encouraging
them to share.  I feel like my work as an organizer has been so much more
in making it easy for people to get to know each other and share.  I spoke
some in the beginning because I also thought that was the expectation.  It
really is about just making the meeting location and time happen and the
people will come.  Even if your meetup was getting together for lunch once
a month, you'd be a legitimate organizer!

Good luck!  Where is this new PHP meetup group you're starting?  :)

Emily
