I think you have the idea by now but I thought I would "officially" state the
membership policy.

- Phoenix Linux User Group is a purely volunteer organization.
- There is a steering committee which means they are the people who have to do
the talking if there is no one else talking.
- There are no dues to pay.
- There are no forms to fill out.
- There are email lists to participate in.
- There is a group web site.
plug.phoenix.az.us
- There is a Linux Training meeting the first Wednesday of the month at
Sequoia School on the east side.
- There is a general meeting at Sequoia School on the east side the second
Thursday of every month.
- There is a general meeting at Glendale Community College on the west side
the 4th Tuesday of every month.
- There is a developer (people interested in programming) meeting the first
Monday of every-other month at Adtron just south of the airport.
- There is the Linux Stammtisch every 3rd Tuesday of the month at Bandersnatch
Brew Pub in Tempe.
- We have Install Fests once in a while when ambitious volunteers put one
together.  We've had two this year!
- One of the members also has an IRC server with a channel for PLUG.  (I don't
remember the address off hand.)

Just show up at participate in the venue(s) of your choice and you are a
member.  If you want to do something for the group, speak up and get started. 
Glad to have you here!
