Informal Linux Meetings

[Lockhart, Charles]

Uhm, I'm gonna be out of town for about a month, but when I get back I'd
attend.  Though straight up I have to say my attendance would me more
reliable if we were to start the meetings in a bar, though I guess that
would kind of depend on whether people interested in coming were of age.
