Life tends to get in the way of things I want to do.

There is a website, www.penguinfest.org that needs some more info on it.
The small group that met had some really good ideas. They are still
really good ideas.

Does Atlanta need some kind of tradeshow/gathering/geek fest where Linux
is the central theme? I would argue a strong yes. 

USENIX is coming to Atlanta. That might be a time to have a PenguinFest
at a separate location to leverage the presence of others.

Due to a recent job change, I now have more control over my schedule
again and can put some time into this.
