[Charlug] March Meeting Notes

[Bob Evans]

Copying Greg & Kevin on this email so they will be aware of our plans...

Guys, we will be approaching you for future tips & tricks (and as guests to
our Saturday meetings.)



*ONE MORE THING *

We (charlug) are sponsors of the SouthEastLinuxFest on 06/13/09

...so we probably should be planning on a convoy (one day event at Clemson
campus.... a Saturday, no less!)
