I think if Jack and others want to organize it, more power to them. I think it would add some additional value to the people curious or struggling with linux. IIRC, we talked about Beer Meetings for awhile, but thats what it all was...talk. I volunteered to organize it and so now we have them. :) I don't see why we need to have a formal relationship with the TCPC over this, however. If the organizers think it would be easier to work with the TCPC to create the SIG, fine with me. Either way it will benefit the newbies. I'm sure that if you email Clay, he'll give you a place to add your meeting info to the mn-linux.org. ~jacque
