Yeah, I just signed up for the M80 team for Buffy/Firefly and they asked for the zip code as a minimum, and gave an option for address/phone number.

That's exactly it. I was thinking of having those individual fields. Once people fill them out and if they want to join the regional groups - fill out the Group field. Then we can slice and dice the fields as we want, pull up an area listing or a group listing. Who's the contact, etc, etc.

I was thinking of regional group contacts--that way people can just contact their local group. What do you all think?

A group listing doesn't have to exclude an individual listing. Individual listings could lead to the formation of new groups. Why not allow both on a strickly voluntary basis?

I hadn't heard of M80 but saw it referenced on the OB under the "Browncoat HQ" thread. So, I signed up too... however, I don't see that the Firefly stuff is getting updated.

There are mentions of events on www.shindigified.com, but no specifics.

I might be interested in the TX Shindig because it's close enough to drive but there's no contact info.

A listing of groups and events with contact info doesn't appear to exist already despite those listed under the "Browncoat HQ" thread on the OB.

Yeah--if you want to check out my thread on the official boards, the only response I got was some guy listing off those websites. The M30 one is now defunct (for the moment), the shindig one is an insider thing (with potential), and other things are like this site--dynamic so you have to keep up with it.

Other responses: another like the first one I got here (though I did /not/ fly off the handle again, thank you), someone pointing me to the browncoats.org site (ugh), and two bits of constructive criticism:

1. "I'm not directly involved with these things, but I know that there is a webring already, plus the Browncoat Foundation, which deals with charity work. So you might want to coordinate whatever you do with those people--IIRC Bluehoot does the webring, and a number of people are on the foundation's board, including Nonoluna and Rich (Sendmeawave). Shellgazer has been involved with a lot of the charity drives as well."
and
2. "Hippydog started an oversight "committee" (term used loosely) last year, you may want to contact him before reinventing the wheel."

Any suggestions on next steps (or even just a response to that board)? http://forums.prospero.com/foxfirefly/messages?msg=13206.7

Chris of browncoats.com e-mailed me back and is indeed looking for help with the site. He directed me to this thread:

I believe if we can help him with a little house cleaning and orginization to help get browncoats.com back on its feet that we can find a nice home for our centralized Browncoats Group database.

Odd, the people seemed so much more open to the idea then they did when I suggested it. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm just dislikable.

Anyway, thanks Hoghug for getting the ball rolling--and thanks to Chris at browncoats.org (if he's reading) for being such an open-minded guy.

What now?

At least we know more of the story with Hippydog now.

If I win tonight's lottery, I'll set us up a shiny world headquarters.

It'll have computers and secretaries and a water cooler.
