Largely, yes. Everyone will at some time be coordinating or giving a
great talk, first a PLUG, then at OSCON/LISA/LinuxWorld/etc.
Resistance is futile.

I was interested in last night's topic - and also on deadline
to finish a business plan, so regretfully did not attend.
Intelligent people can have many different inputs, and viewpoints,
outside of a shared interest in Linux. Some of you are aware of

Thanks all for the ideas and input! I think creating a test environment and
ironing out all the details is very important and smart thing to do.
Another idea, since there's no hot spare hard drives is to install a new
hard drive partitioned they way I want it and move everything over to it.

And that's why we have the PLUG-Talk list, which is a delightful place
to take such discussions.

I have re-read the original announcement of last nights' meeting, and even
at the announcement stage, it seemed better matched for the Maker community
than the Linux community.
For example, if this topic had been "Let's look at how to write a Python

Great, I propose that we borrow a few 3d printers, and start giving
demonstrations regarding how to 3d-print guns. which we can then 3d print
onto quadrocopters, which are running on raspberry pi's for targeting and
acquisition of `targets`.
