I am glad to see it too. It is probably not as close to GCC as other people but It is still 1/4 of the way I was making to the East Side Location. -----Original Message----- From: Vaughn Treude [mailto:vaughn@nakota-software.com] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2001 8:08 AM To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: West Side PLUG, was: Re: Last Warning Excellent! I live VERY close to GCC. And last Tuesday also works out well.

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 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.

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