I think this is a non-issue - being a campus club
doesn't hinder us from being a non-campus club too.
It does not restrict other affiliations (as far as I
know).
What it *does* do, is helps us get rooms on campus if
we need it (for meetings and demo's). It also makes
money available to the hsu members of our group for
trips (linux world anyone?). Oh, and money for flyers
and other advertising for the club (meaning hsu money
goes towards hsu flyers, and cr money goes towards cr
flyers).
We could (and should) also create a CR club too for
the same reasons.
Basically come up with a name (Humboldt-LUG, or
Redwood-LUG or ??? - sorry, campus crusade for linux
doesn't cut it with me), create clubs at HSU *and* CR
with the same names, and then meet at GNU Games (or
wherever) just like we do anyhow. I'm more than happy
to host a monthly (or bi-monthly or ???) gathering of
linux geeks for the purpose of talking, fragging, and
planning world domination. The hardest part is coming
up with a time most of us are availble.
The other hard part is maintaining some cohesion
during summer break. However, I don't think this is
affected by wiether (sp?) we have campus clubs or not
- nothing keeps us from just meeting (other than the
amazing weather we've had). :)
My business hours while school is in session are:
Mon - Thur: 3 - 8
Fri: 3 - 10
Sat: 12 - 10
Sun: 12 - 5
It would probably be best to pick a time *outside*
these hours so we have the place to ourselves. Sunday
after 5pm, howoever, is set aside for dinner with my
family.
Hope this helps.
On a more personal basis, the busines has been rocking
lately, much more than I can expect. I now have 5
game machines with 2 more coming this week (which is
good, I'm often turning people away cause all the
'puters are full). I'm finding more and more cool
games that run on linux (with and with out wine), and
I have awesome clients. Unfortunatly, I'm helping out
at cpc, so i've been working 70-80 hours weeks for
over a month now - I'm getting too old for this. But
once CPC has another staff person, I can go back to
devoting 100% to the store (and having a life again).

PS - there is a kawasaki rider on this list (sorry, I
forgot your name) - please email me if you'd like to
help me shake some of the dust of my bike - and the
cobwebs out of my brain. It's amazing what twisty
roads and 2 wheels do for the soul...
