[ale] ALE NW meeting last night

[aaron]

Will confirm with Michael Hirsch, but I show the Central meeting as booked for 
April and May. We were loosely holding June open for the possibility of 
Oracle doing a Linux topical presentation... they contacted us with the offer 
through the admin list.

A point, though, that given the potential for localized meetings and expanded 
attendance opportunities, it might be useful to coordinate presentations a 
bit. It may also make preparing a Linux presentation more attractive if one 
gets better mileage out of the effort through more people at different 
locations.

Perhaps a little discussion after the 13th meeting is in order.
