 and just to be clear, i'm not trying to compete with OCLUG.  this
group would be far more informal and have a much stricter focus.  so
... who's in?  if enough people are interested, i'll check out what it
would take to meet at the code factory.

I'm so old that I remember when OCLUG was just a small group of like-minded individuals who got together on a regular basis to discuss their new Operating System, and didn't have formal presentations or an "Executive", or a "Charter". It was a lot of fun.

I don't program the kernel (not nearly that bright), and I'm not in downtown, (I avoid it whenever possible), so I won't be part of it, but I _do_ hope your idea takes root and flourishes.
