[nflug] community GNU/Linux education

[Mark Musone]

Daniel,

I would not be completely discouraged about the main place mall. they
historically have an anti-business attitude (go figure, a mall that doesn't
want businesses), as I and I'm sure many others on this list have
experienced.

With that aside, I would encourage you to look at other places in buffalo
(probably off main street, as being on main street also gets buffalo place
involved, making it just as difficult for you.)

I do have a number of locations/organizations that I think would fit well
and that I think would be happy to provide space for you. A number of these
are in Buffalo, some are in Amhert and Cheektowaga. 

Please contact me off list so I can get a better understanding of what you
are trying to do and I'll see what I can do.

-Mark

I want to provide free Linux education to the
community.  I figured I'd have a folding table and
some chairs for starters, and my laptop, maybe a
whiteboard. If I could have internet access that would
be wonderful. 

I'm interested in opening a storefront, for lack of a
better term, and I've contacted the Main Place Mall.
They seemed skeptical ("sounds like you're trying to
start a business") and told me I'd need a certificate
of insurance, at any rate. I assume this would apply
anywhere here in Buffalo and wonder what would be
involved in acquiring this, any hints?

I don't have a car, and so hopefully it would be
someplace close to where I live, on the bus line. I
would want to do this in the mornings Wed.- Sat.

Does anyone have interest in participating in this and
does anyone have any contacts for people who would be
amenable to this idea and could direct me to
people/organizations/businesses that could provide
office space for this endeavor?

If you're interested in my qualifications, please
email me privately and I'll provide more information.

I'd like to participate more in local GNU/Linux
activities, but LUG meetings conflict with my work
schedule. 

Thank you for your consideration,
Daniel Villarreal
