Hi,<br><br>I have a silly LIFE question and hopefully someone with the a similar scenario can help me out. I'm going to kind of open myself up - so be kind in your responses.<br><br>I am a web developer with an extreme love or linux and FOSS. I have three young kids all under the age of 4 and I'm married. I want to get involved in our user group and in the linux community. At some point I plan to learn Python so I can contribute to a project, but I need to figure out how can I get involved with our user group. I have all the meetings scheduled in Google Calendar, but I haven't been able to pull away from the family to attend one. I guess at some point I'll have to put my foot down, but I'm kind of a dedicated father/husband so my family's needs trump my own.<br>
<br>So far I blog about my own linux adventures (<a href="http://www.fergytech.com">www.fergytech.com</a>) and I listen to tons of linux podcasts (to keep myself in the loop). Thanks for any suggestions and I look forward to hearing your responses.<br>
