[TriLUG] GnuCash

[Hrivnak, Michael]

That's a good idea. I don't have a ton of bookkeeping experience, but I
have used gnucash a fair amount and can definitely talk about double-entry
accounting. So I could possibly contribute if we have a gnucash expert to
lead a presentation. We could use trilug's books as an example, and might
learn something about how to improve the LUG's use of gnucash.
