Jeff,
Who do we know at IBM we can get to come and speak to GNHLUG?
I've started the ball rolling to get someone from HP. I don't know
who yet, but we have some people here who have lots of contacts in HP.
One guy mentioned having Bruce Perens come up, since he's A) with HP,
B) on the east coast, and C) pretty huge in the Linux world.
I make no promises, but personally I think it would be pretty cool to
have someone like Bruce stop by Martha's for a pint or two :)
