Re: [PLUG] Cord Cutting Options & Meeting topics?

I'm a relative newb but attended a couple of meetups at Central. Now
that I live in Philly I'll try to attend more (lived in Coatesville
until a few weeks ago). I found that even though I'm not experienced
with using Linux on the admin level I found the talks on R and Arch
Linux ARM engaging and there are more than a few people who are willing
to talk to newcomers. 

The nice thing about central is that the auditorium gives you a little
more space (anonymity) when you first arrive and everyone's facing the
front so they can't stare at you all time :-D

Distance was the major impediment for me but I felt like the group was
pretty laid-back and willing to talk on all levels (though the
auditorium on one occasional smelled like a subway station but we won't
go into that). 

So I suppose the posters to this message board would be equally amicable
overall since many of them are the same people who attend these meetups.
