Tim, Growing up I frequently saw a sign on my father's office that kinda said that 'history does not remember those who die on the plains of hesitation.' Think Big is very good thing. So we have volunteers in: 1- Visiting schools, linux/Open Source evangelism 2- Marketing: -websites -graphics -ads -meeting PTA's 3- Training: -Linux -net admin -sys admin -Open Source alternatives With some sponsorwhip we could probably put together a nice meeting. So lets start writing to Linux/Open Source/Free Software organizations and see what we can put together, as well asUniversities/Schools in the area. But maybe we ought to meet first locally to figure things ad not go off half cocked. My account for the Open Source Design Syndicate allows me use of at least one mailing list, which I can make available to Linux in Educationinitiative unless there are objections or someone wants to set up their own thing. -- Samir M.
