Two, maybe more, groups

[Todd Coplien]

I guess my main point is that I don't feel segmenting off the state into
regions would hurt the group. I'm married, have 4 kids, and a full-time IT
job so meeting in Eau Claire would be a lot more feasible then trying to
meet in Madison. If there are enough of us, I say we divide the state into
4 sections. North-East, North-West, South-East, and South-West and see what
happens. :)
