Yes, there's quite a bit of content there. I will spend some of the
holiday weekend moving that information to the new site; there's some
valuable stuff there that I feel needs to be kept. 

I have begun this process with the ``past meetings'' link. I intend to
give the sight a seemless look with both the old and new information.

There are other things I wish to do, such as a beginner level FAQ,
screenshots, and more links pointing to poplular Linux sights.

That reminds me. If you guys have an article or piece you'd like to
share, just click the ``submit story'' button; I'll likely post it.

No doubt. I'm learning this the hard way. I may automate this. :-)

This is a really good point. I hope to chat with John briefly after the
meeting about this if he can make it.

Put a packet sniffer in front transport.com's router. That way you can
redirect traffic intended for you ;-).

It looks like it's co-sponsored by the LUGS up there, too.. Bellingham,
Tacoma, Seattle, etc.
