[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux Demo Day 99

[Chris Cox]

Ahh yes....volunteers...

Seems that August/September has always been a difficult time period.
Last year we were forced to do a general Q&A session....which isn't
necessarily a bad idea, it helps put people with questions together
with people with answers.  (and I can always give a brief
synopsys of LinuxWorld)

I wonder if it would be possible to stake out multiple Best Buys for
this??  Any chance??

Securing locations is probably the more difficult part.  Keep
pushing everyone!
