A couple of things: An invitation to the installfest was extended to those who attended the TCPC meeting on Jan. 9th. (Note: The following is my own opinion. Terry, Clay - Shoot it down if I've ventured into areas I shouldn't.) Maybe what we need is a New Users SIG for TCLUG. Why not make that a joint effort with TCPC. It solves two of the most daunting tasks for any new SIG having a place and time to meet. I've committed to Terry to be available for most of the TCPC meetings when no one else has something they would like to present. As such I will volunteer to be the TCLUG's "SIG Leader" for the New Users SIG. The TCLUG general meetings (1st Saturday) can remain geared to more experienced users and more techinical topics. The New Users SIG/TCPC Linux on Saturday meeting (2nd Saturday) can be geared to less experienced users and general Linux advocacy to the non-Linux using community.
