I just started listening to the LUG two weeks ago or so. I've been way into Linux for years and had been trying to find a LUG in the area before I went off to college. I went to high school in Oakland and ran track/field at CMU and never heard or saw anything about you guys. Now, I'm at Slippery Rock and had given up, assuming there was no LUG in the area. I stumbled across you guys by chance. I guess that's my verbose way of saying that better publication would help - a lot! Maybe a facebook group? I'd help out with it. If that's something you've already discussed or I'm beating a dead horse let me know. Flyers? T-shirts (I know it's geeky but if they were sweet T-shirts, I'd wear one)?
