[GLLUG] Request for Computer Louge Staffing

[Karl Schuttler]

Count me in for set up and I will certainly volunteer a good bit of
time for general lounge suppose when the schedules are more definite.
Theres a lot of good stuff this year (xkcd !), but I'm sure I can find
a few hours to spare.

On a side note (more directed towards Peter), as I intend to spend a
good portion of time helping out with the lab, would it be possible to
play on in the Volunteer Only Scrabble?
