Well, we haven't been doing installfests, but I think that's an
excellent idea.  It's high time we did something like that.  :)

Everybody, I think that we should start doing stuff as a group like
this.  IMHO, it would send a message that we're serious about what we're
doing (don't get me wrong, this isn't to say we're not serious already,
it's the impression).  At least one former list subscriber feels that we
are less a user group and more "a bunch of people that happen to use
Linux".

I'd be willing to try to set something up, for, say, a couple of weeks
from now.  Does anybody have any preference as to where (both
establishment and area of the city)?  Any preferences on particular
dates?  A Saturday, say, 11:00-ish, for a few hours is what I'm thinking
of.  (I'm modeling this after SVLUG (http://www.svlug.org/); they do
theirs the third Saturday from 11:00-4:00.)

Any thoughts?

Bill
