Who are we ? and why ?

Who

We are mostly me, Brian Dolan-Goecke.  I have been a Linux user for a long time, and enjoy talk about Linux anytime.  But having a family and a job limits my ability to talk about Linux.  I had been trying to start a Linux User Group, I am also open to talking about ANY Open Source Software issues/topics.

Why ?

I enjoy talking about Linux, and am not able to always make to other Linux Meetings.  I have been trying to organize a meeting for some time, but have not had a place to hold a meeting.  Once I was hired by TIES (http://www.ties.k12.mn.us) (http://www.ties.k12.mn.us) I was able to use their facilities for meetings and Install Fests!  They have nice meeting and training facilities, come to a meeting and see.

When

I am going to try and have the meeting Saturday Morning from 10:00am to 12:00pm, typically the last Saturday of the month.
