Hello Daniel,
Just a suggestion but why don't you work with what is already here,
this LUG! The physical meetings have pretty much dried up because of
time constraints on the likes of Bob, myself and others that have come
up to the plate to host/organize the physical meetings of the NFLUG. I
get asked all the time, when's there going to be another meeting? etc..
If you have the time I'm sure all here would support you in seeing that
the physical meetings resume. I for one really like them because you can
get such a different angle speaking to different people about Linux
(cause there's like a gazillion ways to do something in Linux and you
might like the way someone else has found, etc.). What do you all think?
