[TriLUG] Trilug -- Current Status

[William Sutton via TriLUG]

There's been a bit of discusion about this on libera IRC #trilug.  The 
general consensus, unfortunately, appears to be that TriLUG is dying. 
Cristobal could probably provide more info on that.  I feel like (having 
first joined in late 2002 or so), that I'm probably one of the oldest 
members still hanging out on IRC.  It makes me sad ...
