One of the big things this will help is being able to support a local, monthly,<br>
hands-on meeting in different parts of the metro Atlanta. I know about 5 people<br>
in Lawrenceville ... that sounds like a core group for a sub-meetup. Just need 1<br>
person to step up.<br>
<br>
I've heard there is another small group in Newnan. Just need a small core group<br>
there - I bet it already exists. Make these small groups whatever you like -<br>
linux related of course.<br>
<br>
If this interests you at all, come out to a Sunday meeting at Harry's Pizza<br>
(near I-285 and Powers Ferry) to see how easy this stuff is. Basically, it<br>
becomes just showing up and helping other Linux people.<br>
<br>
We'll put you on the calendar, announce the meeting (an let meetup pull<br>
like-minded people in your area), and provide some guidance.<br>
