I'd guess around April.

That wouldn't be a bad idea.  If we did something on the occasional
Saturday, we could maybe have a mini-Installfest while we're at it.
(Presumably we wouldn't be under the same kind of time constraints on
a Saturday that we would be during the week.)

Which reminds me...  Various people have suggested that we have some
kind of "social" event on occasion...  Does anybody have any
suggestions/ideas for that, or should we just schedule something and
see who shows up?  :-)

I'd love to see something like that, except that I personally don't
know about any such events.  If you know of something we should get
involved with, email the list or info@luci.org with some specifics.
(Oh, and feel free to take the lead on anything like that and just let
us know what help you need.  :-)

Spiffy.

She should start one then.  ;-)  (I'm sure there would be a lot of
interest in a Peoria-area Linux users group.  Since I work in Peoria,
I'd probably get involved if there was one...)
