I'm thinking about doing some searching and browsing to find the contact information for my local LUGs. The reason for doing so would be to invite them to add their LUG to the list - or to do it for them if they'd prefer.
To do this, I've come up with a form letter, which could probably use some polishing before I start sending it off...

Hello and thank you for your time.
My name is David G. and I'm writing on behalf of Linux.org. The web is lacking a good central repository of LUGs and Linux.org is trying to fix this by providing such.
See:
You are invited to register and add your LUG to the list. If you'd prefer, I'll happily take care of this for you. If you want me to do it for you, please write a quick blurb for me to use in the 'about' section. The goal here is to create an accurate and up-to-date list of LUGs that are indexed and searchable from a single location.
Again, thank you for your time.
David G.
--------- END EMAIL ----------
Now, I'd only send it to LUGs where I can find a PUBLIC contact address or contact form. I'm not going to go around snooping for email addresses or anything like that.
Thoughts? I want it to be brief and to the point.
Also, if you feel like doing the same, you can certainly crib from what I've written.
