Back when I was planning that installfest at the Hack Factory, I
unofficially designated myself as a liaison between Twin Cities Maker
and Ubuntu Minnesota, with the goal of opening communication between
the two groups, and spreading awareness of both. What is PGLNX? An
abbreviation of Penguins Unbound? I would certainly be willing to
bring up the idea of sending a representative of TCMaker to a Penguins
Unbound meeting. We would almost definitely love to have someone from
a local Linux group visit us, as well.

Also, feel free to come to an open meeting night at the Hack Factory;
every Wednesday beginning at 7PM. I'm almost always there.


Regards,

-Steve McGrath
