Thanks for discussing it with him.  More support is a Good Thing.

I have arranged for that.  I have two Key people and another significant
FG community member on board.  My plan is for the third Sunday, Feb 19.
There's a shindig there the night before, so I'm planning on coming in
early to do some cleanup.

Perhaps.  I think it depends on whether it's a PLUG thing, a FreeGeek
thing or (other).  I was wanting to bill it as "Linux Clinic at
FreeGeek", so as to no exclude That Other Group, but it looks like
there's enough interest here to make it a PLUG thing.

One thing is that I'll have a lot more free time after Feb 10, and
I intend to put some of that time into being more involved at FG.

Easy enough.  Folks at FG like the idea, especially since it brings in
more cool techie folks.  F'r instance, they have a space called The
White Hole just *full* of server-class equipment that they're not
entirely sure what to do with.

And I still want to try and coordinate the Clinic with Ted Havelka's
Sun/SGI/other tech sessions.

Should've given more progress reports,
