as long as someone who's an employee attends the meetings - that'll be
me initially.

For those familiar with GCC, I have my eye on the HT1 Teleconference
room.  It's comfortable, spacious, and has networking - I'll need to do
some  negotiating for a network connection but I think it can happen.

What we need to do is determine a day and time that would be good for
the largest number of people.  The room's generally available evenings.
Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6:00pm are usually free, for example. I
can check on proposed dates within one day, and reserve the room.

I'll commit to arranging space for 3 months for starters; indefinitely
if the experience proves to be "better than a poke in the eye with a
sharp stick".

I've had kinda a negative experience w/ installfest so I don't want to
rely on that too much :-).  I think I could fill about 30 minutes and
not screw up too badly with something like "intro. security for home
users": inventorying services and killing them, installing portsentry
and logcheck.  I can usually type "rpm -i"
with the best of em.

Not being a student club avoids *many* annoying problems and
negotiations.

Just to get the ball rolling, how about the last Tuesday of the month at
6pm?  That'd be 3/27.
