I thought it was cool that PLUG was mentioned. See http://www.newsweek.com/nw-srv/printed/us/st/ty0103_1.htm if you don't have a print copy. I wouldn't count on that URL working once a new print edition hits the news stands, though. PLUG is mentioned in the first few lines. Here's a copy of the first paragraph: Code Warriors The grass-roots 'open source' software movement is no longer just a hacker cult. It could end up challenging mighty Microsoft. By Steven Levy The owner of the suddenly tiny Cyber Loft cafi stopped counting at 70 people. "It's never been this crowded before," he said of the pasty-skinned mass of keyboard-clicking humanity that braved bitter temperatures to attend last Wednesday night's meeting of the Philadelphia Linux Users Group.
