[wplug] MEPIS moving?

[O'Connor, Michael P.]

Just mention to him CMU, also talk about the other university, Pitt has
a good CS department.  Also you might want to put in the lower cost of
living that Pittsburgh has over other cities (some places you need to
make almost 3 times what you need to make in Pittsburgh to live, can you
say NY city, LA, silicon valley)

Also how Pittsburgh is very friendly, it does have a good view (there
are areas near the city where you can get forests, there are rivers here
[not sure but I think there are 3 ;-) ] and mmountains.)

  "As you may know, Warren (and MEPIS) are currently located in
   Morgantown, WV. While this is a beautiful area, with mountains,
   forests, lakes, and rivers galore, it is somewhat lacking in
technical
   people, resources, and opportunities. So we have started the "Help
   Warren Find a New Home" proejct with a simple goal: find a new home
   for Warren and MEPIS. He would like to be in a town/city in the US
   that has more to offer, technologically speaking. It should be near a
   university where he could develop a good working relationship with
   people in the university, especially in the computer science
   department, and where he would have more people available to help
work
   on MEPIS."

Not trying to stuff the ballot box here, but if you think you can
make a good, well-thought-out case for why Pittsburgh would be a
good choice (and hopefully WPLUG will be an example of local Linux
interest!), you can post it at <http://www.mepis.org/node/12790>.
