I figured I'd jump in with some notes. I wanted to provide links for the 
things I talked about. First up, pics!!

What would be great would be to get these labeled with some names if 
anyone wants to.

As for meeting notes I wanted to link to the Ohio Linuxfest conference.
http://ohiolinux.org/

Sign up and meet us down there.

I also wanted to plug the LUG, Michigan User Group (MUG).

Out next meeting is sept. 11th. We'll be talking with* Michael K. 
Johnson and Ken VanDine from rpath at http://rpath.com. ***

Thanks again for everyone coming out. Hope it was a good time.
