Hi Carl,

Thanks for your offers of help. The more the better. CU at the next
meatspace meeting. As the meeting summary mail said, looking for a
Fedora Core 1 DTL....

Do you know people at Weta?

Its a shame the progress and organisation of the installfest has caught
you (and others) by surprise. Noting that you have been on the wlug_org
list for a little while, how did this happen? Membership to get involved
and help organise things is not closed. It is open.

If you feel that there is a presentation topic that you could do then by
all means offer!

sed 's/lurking/active/g' ;-)
