Michael, 
maybe this can can clear up the Rumours

The linux Hardware Forum was created to provide a weekly
forum for new linux users to get people together in an informal
hands-on atmosphere. There is plenty of spare hardware to do component 
swapping along with a good crew of people who volunteer their time to 
help solve problems.  Not to be confused with the monthly ALE meeting,
which is the second Thursday of each month.  The Linux General Store
hosts this weekly event; it is the users who help one another for free
and trade hardware, swap stories and ideas and eat pizza and hang out.
Although the store is open for business, no one is required to buy
anything, or pay any fee at the door.
