April's meeting place

[Gregory J. Neumann]

Congratualtions, Robert!  Which department?  My daugher is a senior at Daemen (I'm 
constantly mispelling it as "Daem>o<n" for obvious reasons! ;-)).  They seem to 
have a pretty good set up, too.

Both Daemen and UB woud be good.  I figured something Linux had to be going on at 
UB because of the Linux Docs mirror, but was not sure what.  The Buffalo Freenet is 
based at UB, so the precedent of community service is there. The biggest problem I 
see is UB's security concerns.  I know that the Buffalo Freenet shut down phone 
access last year because of that.
