Re: [BLUG] Linuxfest and BLUG

There is definitely interest in doing something like that.

Quite a few of us were working on gauging interest and the response
everywhere we asked was very positive.

This year we didn't gather too much steam, though we anticipate next
year—with the loss of the IU LinuxFest—there will be more of a drive.

Michael Schultheiss is maintaining indianalinux.org as a place to
gather people with interest so that we can reach each other and get
organized for it.

Hope you're all having a great day! I just finished the last class of
my school year, a history of computing class, and we just finished
watching Revolution O.S.

WooHoo for summer!
