I think Matthew's email on this is rather misleading and as someone who was involved the development of the HBSMR almost from the beginning, I'd like to try and put the record straight. 1. ALGAO were partners with EH and Exegesis in the development of the software, and SMR officers as ALGAO representatives were fully involved in its development. 2. Most members of the HBSMR User Group work for organisations that are members of ALGAO, organisations that fund the development through buying licences and support. 3. ALGAO also provide the chair and there is a regular item on the ALGAO SMR committee agenda so the chair can report back, alongside those members of the ALGAO SMR community who attend HBSMR Users Group. Perhaps 'sub-group' is not the term to use but I can't think of an alternative this late in the day! However, we should still recognise the importance of ensuring good communication and clear relationships between all the various meetings as well as the importance of the ALGAO role as representing many, if not most, user organisations.
