[TriLUG] Newbie Mtg Plans - Part 2

[Lisa C. Boyd]

FYI - I've had a few people email me off-list asking if we are doing a 
class for newbies :) I know there are probably more of you out there 
wondering so I thought I'd clarify that this meeting is just a 
planning-type thing. Newbies and veterans alike are welcome to come. 
Ultimately we would like to provide information about Linux in an 
easy-to-understand-for-newbies way in many different forms. We will most 
likely talk about adding information to the web site, having informational 
pre-installfests, and possibly even special classes. If any of you who are 
lurking in the shadows would like to share some ideas - please feel free to 
email me off-list. I'll take all the ideas I can pull together from this 
list and off-list and bring it with me to the meeting for discussion.

Yes - for some reason the insects in Durham seem to be larger both in size 
and number. One of the reasons I don't enjoy playing softball in Durham 
anymore!

Geez :) You don't have a grill? I'm not sure I could talk my husband into 
hauling his over there - he's kind of sensitive about that sort of thing - 
but maybe we could work something out. I'll start discussions off-list next 
week with those people who are coming so we can figure out who's bringing 
what and so forth.
