[ale] Greetings Linux Enthusiasts (new to the area)

[Richard Faulkner]

Beer yes, and prepare to celebrate the Civil War if visiting Stone
Mountain Park for 4th of July fireworks!  
I'm originally from Oregon and California and have lived in the South
since 1989.  Other than a general 
distaste for Gen. Sherman among some circles I can't think of much to
comment upon regarding the ATL
save being a tech mecca, center for hip hop and hometown of our beloved
Waffle House.  Oh, yeah, we
have Coke too.

Welcome to the ATL!  I too am new to the group but they're a great
crowd...but still have yet to try Charles'
beer...perhaps at the gathering we've been talking about?  : )

Learn to brew beer, you'll be ok.

So anyways, welcome.  We try to do a key-signing every year or so.
Perhaps you'd like to organize it? (heh heh, I helped last year..)
