Don't worry on that score, we now have two buildings available so can=20
run concurrent events or just have a chat while an event takes place.

Save the hardest 'til last eh!  Pipedream possibly, but I have always=20
had the longterm plan to be able to offer Linux courses, Rhcerts are=20
are possible but that kettle of fish would likely require outside=20
control or a LUG offshoot as it would involve financing of tuition. I=20
think the LUG could currently offer something akin to the european=20
computer driver courses aimed at an end user. I am currently leaning=20
toward a bimonthly, install to simple usage demo.

Once we have the place set up to run linux over the network boxes and we=20
have a /sufficient user base/ I will add a weekly meeting (evenings) to=20
our services. This should also give us greater leeway for our projects=20
list to get together to work on the various projects we run.
