[GLLUG] Re: More Penguicon Thoughts

[Jeff Lawton]

What does everyone think about posting to the other lugs asling for 
volunteers and presenters for the computer lounge next year? I think we 
have the foundation very stable and could do so much more with the 
facility. It was very slow at 5 am on Sunday we could offer that world 
domination class then. I would prefer giving my backup presentation 
where people could actually type in commands and follow along.
