GRLUG is meant as tech support of Linux for the greater Grand Rapids area. In 
the past, we've held install-fest, demo days, and the like. In the last 
couple of years, that's dwindled down to a mailing list. (I'd like to see it 
back to meetings and fests)

We basically need a head, meeting scheduler, and a webmin. 

I am the head, Godwin is the webmin, Ben was the meeting scheduler, but 
(again) we've basically been just a mailing list for a couple of years.

Ladies (should that be singular? :-) and gentlemen - I call you to action. We 
must be the advocates in western Michigan to promote Linux. This means we 
need to have a visible presence in the world. I think it would be good to 
start with something simular we did all those years ago at Barns and Noble in 
Rivertown. get out into public with Linux running on PC and Mac alike and 
show them what free as in freedom is all about. 

Power to the Penguin!
