[BLUG] Time for BLUG meetings and survey

Well, out of the blue today I received two e-mails from new Linux
users in Bloomington, eager to go to meetings and learn from others
about how to install Linux and setup a Linux computer.

I'm not sure who last held the BLUG matrix of leadership, but I'd like
to take it back for a while and get some meetings going again.

This time however, I want to change the day to see if we get better
turnsouts. So in order to facilitate that. If everyone interested could
take this really quick survey:

we're be able to figure out a good day to hold them. I think its
understood that if it was on a weekday that it would be after 6pm or
something and if its on a weekend day that it probably would be in the
afternoon or evening.

One thing I think the community has gotten away from in recent years
is making sure that new Linux users have the support they need. We need
to turn that around. Other things may have their pioneers that come
and go, but people like you are what really make open source work. ;-)
