[ale] Re: [ale-expo] idea for meetings with AUUG

}I think that AUUG is a good group. That's why I thought it would be good

}olympics.  

I agree.

}Most people at the AUUG meetings that I've met have been using Unix for
}a great many years.  I think that everyone at AUUG has heard of Linux.
}They may even be sick of hearing about it.  I don't really know.  I

I used to be a regular at the AUUG meetings a few years back, Linux was
unknown to me at the time.

}think that maybe we should say something during the announcements
}section, but I don't want us to take over the meeting, ...........

Based on my previous experiences we would be out numbered. :)

}....................................................., unless they
}want/need a speaker.  From what I've heard in the past, AUUG speakers
}are booked several months in advance.  (How do they do it?)

They have a wider scope and many of the speakers are from large companies
and unfortunately, I'm sure they feel they are dealing with folks that may
bring them some sales, vs. 'a bunch of Linux hobyists....'
