Well, I'm of the opinion (and I may be wrong) that for things like
games, people will forget about it by Saturday. I use the schedule on
the wiki as a primary source for people. Then the announcement on
Friday or Saturday is a reminder. Maybe I should email the upcoming
schedule for the next few weeks on Mondays to the list and then remind
on Saturdays. maybe the reminder isn't needed, we're all organized
people right (/me looks around at very messy desk).

That's fine. I don't really want to get too far out. Bloomington,
surrounding area, Indianapolis and the rest of Indiana are ok too, but
I'd like to keep it mostly people that we know from the list, meetings
and so on. That makes it more fun. Besides, once we get people from a
bigger pond, then you have better players come in and then its less
accessible for beginners. And making gaming appealing both for
non-gamers and for Linux users is what this is mostly about. I want
people to realize that there are games available and that they are
decent. Its not just about playing.

Sure. I've actually thought about posting to the Ubuntu Indiana list,
if you want to do that, be my guest.
