I'm happy to help with any of these. Will try to coordinate with you.

I like this idea and I think we could do well with it. I speak to plenty of
people who'd like to learn about Linux but feel that they'll be ridiculed or
confused by the LUG. They wouldn't be, I know that from the great people we
have. But getting that message out to the wider community would be good.
Dispel the myth that we're all angry bearded people, ok so I might not be
helping with particular part much.

As I said. I'm happy to help. Doubt I can make it down this Monday but you
never know. If you're planning to head down any other time and work on this
let me know, or post here, I'm sure I'll get along to help sometimes if not
every time.
