another $30 to go.</p>

<p dir="ltr">This is your ALE. From mailing list support for
newbies to professional sysadmins alike to meetings in 3
(soon 4!) locations for face to face interaction,
interesting topics, ALE is a Linux users group driven by
your needs. That's what ALE has always done - inform,
educate, collaborate, and inspire. </p>
<p dir="ltr">For more than 2 decades ALE led the Linux
revolution in the Atlanta area and worldwide (mailing list
members in several countries and an article in a UK Linux
magazine mentioned ALE with a photo of yours truly holding a
glass of ale). Many of the more focused tech topic groups
are (very) loosely tied through members with ALE. It's
almost like ALE had children that are all grown up now
<sniff ;-)></p>
<p dir="ltr">As ALE provides support for your Linux
collaboration needs, we need your support for ALE. Usually,
I'm asking for topics and speakers but this time it's for
your financial support. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Send your contribution to:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Paypal.me/drlinux1992</p>
<p dir="ltr">We need $30 more to meet our obligation to fund
the meetup account. We've had 5 members step up with
generosity to get us to $60 so far. A huge (HUGE!) thank you
for that! </p>
<p dir="ltr">So take a short break from your regular Monday
morning and support ALE in whatever amount you choose. </p>
<p dir="ltr"></public broadcasting voice></p>
<p dir="ltr">Hmm. I wonder if we could get Ira Glass to write
a guilt filled email. :-}</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks everyone!</p>

wants $90 for another 6 months. Donations are welcome.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We have 800 people signed up and at least
half were members of more than 20 other groups at the
time they joined ALE's meetup. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I am very happy to see people at meetings.
Let's keep it going. </p>
<p dir="ltr">At this point, it looks like May will be an
off month. June will be a multiple person presentation
covering various virtualization and containerization
tools by request. Plan to be there or at least be ready
for the debut of ALE live web conferences! </p>
