West Side PLUG, was: Re: Last Warning

[Furmanek, Greg]

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.

Excellent!  I live VERY close to GCC.   And last Tuesday also works out
well.

I'm happy to say I was previously mislead: GCC can be used for meetings 
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.
