[TriLUG] RTI as a meeting place?

[Brian]

Roy,

I have a friend who works at RTI and is a Linux enthusiast.  What does 
it take to be a room sponsor?  As far as I know, my friend is not in any 
management position, but he might be able to help get a bug into the 
right ears.

(Staying on-list in case anyone else has the same question; feel free to 
respond off-list)

Cheers,
~Brian
