I've been thinking about this for the few weeks, and while I don't yet have a
plan in mind, I think this could be a great sub-topic to get into.  I'm thinking
of SOHO and even enterprise if there is enough interest.  There's an number of
things I'm interested in, but I haven't found time to do all the research. It
would be handy to bounce things off others with similar business needs.

One idea that hasn't been suggested is IRC. We have a permanent chat room on
irc.openprojects.net #aclug, or it would be trivial to run our own irc server
off the major network if so desired.  We could have monthly scheduled meetings
on a variety of topics, and also hold open discussion nights.
