Hamfest in Ubuntu News; Local Community team ?

[Shawn O'Shea]

GNHLUG doesn't have a table or other "official" presense at this weekend's
NEARfest . I know a number of GNHLUGgers have mentioned in recent meetings
that they'll be attending, so you've got a chance of bumping into some Linux
geeks :)
