It's also why when you first sign up, your membership expires in 2 
weeks.  A lot of people serially click "join" links, but after a couple 
of weeks of looking around, they'll know that Ubuntu California isn't a 
LUG or user group, but an advocacy group.

So that gives them a chance to evaluate whether or not they're 
interested, and then when they click "renew", it's for a year.

That said, we welcome anyone in California who is interested in Ubuntu 
advocacy even if they're not throwing an event every week.  We've always 
used our existing events to train newer members, and for example if you 
do SCALE, you can easy do any other event.
