Our first meetup was a resounding success and we haven't started scheduling another one, so I thought I'd kick things off with a new diary. If you are a NM Kossack please read on in the extended entry.
Since we have been doing most of the actual arranging by email, I'm just going to outline how to join us(if any new people have wandered by) add a quick poll because I'm curious about our preferred term for ourselves, and suggest this as a NM related open thread.
If you are new to this and want to join the list, you need to login and add yourself to DKos Local here. If you've never used dkosopedia before, you need to know that it is a separate login, and you are encouraged to use your dKos membername as your ID for that as well. You also need to email claude at chayward {at} plateautel {dot} net (omit the spaces and change the (words) to the appropriate symbols), as he is the official keeper of the list.
I'll be sending an email off to the current list after I post this, so that everyone should be in the loop.
Also, I'd like to make sure that ppage and frank can make it to at least one of any near term meetings we schedule, so keep that in mind.
