[Charlug] Linux installfest

[Jim Rorie]

I personally would be very interested in hearing about what you guys are
doing.  Are there many open source robotics tools?

As for a cross group get together, the only issue I could see is
location.  There are a few Ubuntu'rs around here.  I think it would make
a interesting use case demonstration for open source.

I'll cross this to the Ubuntu list.  Any other interested parties?

There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: 
Soap, Ballot, Jury, Ammo. Use in that order.
