[TriLUG] Why don't people come to TriLUG meetings? (was Re:Trilug Kode of Kondukt)

Wow! I *love* that email. I am definitely nominating Matt for the SC next May!
It's people with Matt's attitude that are the real drivers of the movement that is OpenSource (and Linux). 
Matt, I really appreciate your constructive passion for the LUG. 

Personally, I would love to go to *every* meeting, and I used to - before my kids were born - but now family commitments keep me firmly rooted at home every Thursday. Kudos' to the folks who are working hard to let family guys like me still visit the meetings virtually!
