Greetings from booth 1331!

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

The GNHLUG crew is doing their thing down here in Boston, and we're 
having a good time.  Today was actually very busy around lunchtime, and 
many informational packets were handed out (both a humorous Bill Gates 
e-mail intercept that Maddog "found," and a description of the LUG and 
its chapters).  Find pictures of the LUG table

On a more practical point, something like 80% of the people asking about 
GNHLUG were interested in the Nashua LUG... which would always make me 
mutter stuff about us "urrently having a meeting coordinator," and 
making other feeble excuses.  In other words, I think it's probably time 
for us to get meetings going again, so I'm throwing my hat into the 
ring, and volunteering (unless someone else wants to).

While here, I was already approached by someone who'd like to give a 
chat on IP -- and not the networking kind.  He worked with RMS, and is 
currently writing a book that I'll paraphrase as "IP through the ages," 
dealing with intellectual properties all the way back to guilds.  I 
think that that sounds like a great topic -- what do you guys think?  
Are there other topics people are interested in?

Please -- let me know, and I'll see what I can get going; it'd be great 
to see the Nashua folks in person again.

Boothbabe Ken, signing off...
