[wplug] Computer for Geeks+ Geek (re)training;)

Hi,

This is really a discussion for the -plan list
rather than the general list.

If you wish to participate in this thread beyond

Forgive me to anyone who is on the general and
-plan, as you will get this message twice.

As the wplug installfest coordinator, I think
we should first determine what area is underserved
based on interest and population. 

A number of folks from Butler county already are
comfortable hauling all the way to CMU. It might
not make sense for that reason trying to do some
WPLUG non-Pittsburgh event in Cranberry.

Someone had posted to the general list from Erie,PA
who wanted to get a LUG started there. Would there
be any interest in getting a carload of WPLUG-ers
to go up there to help those folks get started?

Some people have posted the suggestion of Irwin.
Would there be interest in Westmoreland county for
that sort of thing? Are those who are interested
in Westmoreland who live in Westmoreland county
already
coming to WPLUG?

Once we've found an area to target, we would have
to find some enthusiastic local folks who would be
interested in getting the message out there.

It's a little more work than what you might have
expected, but maybe worthwile.

Should WPLUG go on the road?
Anyone interested?

Thanks,
Beth Lynn
