That's a great idea Harold.  We should definitely do a newbie mixer or Q&A meeting.

Yeh,
I think that would great a great idea.
Another thing would be a formal newbie's tme. I talk to people who are interested in linux and I tell them thet they are welcome at the meeting.
However I know some are intimidated what they think are techies and geeks talking way over their head.  So just a thought that a formal  newbie time would be more encouraging to them.

Hey all,

I was thinking about our meetings this year... I think we should do a bunch
of specialized meetings next year... make at least half of the meeting "lets
get wmvs running on your linux box" or whatever. A good first one "lets
install crypto on your evoluition/kmail" and then have a key party.

What do you guys think?

you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss 
your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or 
know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing 
for it then - to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the 
only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured 
by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only 
thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn."

condescending, find a Unix user to show you how it's done.
