[aklug] Re: IT Expo

"professional IT folk" sounds good to me. It's kind of depressing having a =
booth and talking to people that don't know anything about IT. I still have=
 a hard time seeing enough "professional IT folk" to make it worth anything=
.=20

I think if AKLUG is going to attend events like the IT Expo we should have =
more then a booth with a few computers. Ubuntu and Fedora or easy to instal=
l. We should show off something like a small office server. That's what the=
 IT people are going to ask about. Just a suggestion.=20
