While that's a good idea, we just recently had and installfest the end of October. The problem with such an event is always coordination of space to hold one. I think time is a critical factor here given Pat's condition. If someone has space available for free and wants to coordinate a fundraiser/installfest, by all means go for it. Adam Maloney posted earlier today that he is going to email Pat regarding financial contributuions from TCLUG. Depending on how that goes, we'll probably just pick a place/time where folks can drop off cash donations and make one lump sump donation to Pat. -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
