Well Jim,

If you would like the LUG NUTs to work with you on figuring out how to 
get eikiga working, we would be more than happy to.  It would be a fun 
project for several of our members and seeings most of our members have 
very limited experience working with Linux it will also be a great 
learning experience.  Our school term ends on June 17.  I believe that 
will be before the next  ALE meeting.

I propose that we shoot to have it working by the July meeting, or 
august meeting.  The LUG NUTs will not officially meet again until the 
week of July 13, 2010, but I can contact the members and see who would 
be willing to work with you on getting a working eikiga session in the 
interim.

Please let us know if that is something of interest to you.
Thanks for you help and enthusiasm.

Joshua Roberts
Founder LTC LUG NUTs
