noproblem if you're not ready to do it this time. There's always the
future.  Besides, from below it sounds like you're somewhat
over-volunteering as it is. ;)

Bill - If the help you'd like is help to reduce your time or workload,
perhaps You might want to consider the following way to 
1) ease your workload, & 
2) perhaps improve LUGOD in some way:

You could move some of LUGODs existing meetings/events to the 1st Sat of
each month, & have LUGOD events simultaneous with the BerkeleyTIP-Global
meeting.  THat could save you talk scheduling effort, at least.  & LUGOD
members could have more talks to choose from or attend. & they'd be the
most interesting/informative talks globally, each month.  & you could
still have local speakers.  It would save you from _having_ to arrange
speakers each month.

Let me know if you &/or LUGOD is interested.  This month, one goal I
have is to begin sending more invitations to California LUGs.  People
can even join from home, using IRC & VOIP (ekiga is what we're working
with currently), & don't _have_ to set up a meeting.  So, there's likely
to be more community members online for LUGODers to interact with.
