Ever since I first heard of these, I thought we should do a few of
them. Seattle, Olympia, somewhere East? There can never be too many
picnics!

Would be nice to draw in some of our friend groups, such as GSLUG, the
LinuxChix, and some of the other geeky groups we are connected to.
Spread the word, and get some ideas of dates and locations.

I'm not much of an expert at installing, having only done it once With
Help. However, I'm willing to bake cookies or muffins or something for
an event, and help out as I can. I can certainly burn .iso cds, etc.
