Yup, JUG was one of the sponsors for the first esr talk.
Various meeting times:
PLUG 2nd Thu
Linux Stammtisch 3rd Tue
ASULUG 3rd Wed
Java Users Group 2nd Wed
Wireless Users Group 1st? Wed
Perl Mongers 2nd Tue
Perl Mongers 3rd Tue ( yep twice a month )
AZPHP 4th Tue
AZIPA 4th Mon ( not quite tech, but a few of us go )
AZSAGE 2nd Thu ( they moved and conflict with PLUG :(
Anybody want to point out the m$, os/2 and mac groups?

We could get 20 or 30 people in there if we'd hang chairs from the ceiling
;-).

He or Linus would be most awesome. Still want to get rms too, but probably
not for a Linux b-day ;-).

Paul, Carl, looks like we got a volunteer :).

You're doing better than I. I've been one of the most grevious offenders
with this and will try to curb it for tomorrow.

I'd like to see the other group announcements before the main event.

That's something that comes up once in a while on the steering
committee. We tried to hash it out at least once. I even took a class on
starting a non-profit and got the paperwork we'd need. Let's keep this off
discuss just because it's a major pain in the paperwork. OTOH, in order to
not exclude people I propose those interested in helping us work out
whether or not PLUG should go NPO and want to get involved let Jim or I
know and we'll find a way to include you if we get some momemtum behind
this idea.

Yup. I really want to have someone come in for ITEC this year.

We've just got to have enough speakers. We've got topics...
