The forms are simple and self-explanatory, and if you're part of an established open source business, project, community group or academic venture you already have all the requested information in hand and just need to paste it in, which should only take you a minute or two.
Community group?
I took a look at the site/forms, and there isn't anything for LUGs. The closest I could see is Open Source/Free Software Project, which asks specific details about the project.
While it's a surprise to see Mr. Stanco including Free Software in the list, it doesn't surprise me to see Mr. Stanco attempting to deny publicity to user groups, especially after his being forced to face reality with one last year.
It's no big deal to google for a user group. But with that book being in the hands of government workers who are less familiar with F/OSS than their regular work, it would help them to have more resources, not less, at their fingertips.
btw, how goes the conversion to GNU/Linux at George Washington University, Mr. Stanco? And what did your friends at Microsoft have to say about it?
