I met her at EPI Center. Matt showed me the Linux class, in progress,
that she was teaching. Next thing I know, she invited me up front and
I'm doing an impromptu promotion of SLUG to about 15 Linux students.
They were enthusiastic about getting on the mail-list and wanted to know
about SLUG meetings.
Dylan, why not just show up on a Tue or Thur after 6pm and get the royal
tour like I did? Mail me off list if ya want a ride. I think you're not
far from me.
