Not much discussion of this since the weekend, eh? For reference, I have 
the teleconference room booked through December 2004. Now for the 
tougher part: getting people to commit to covering the infrastructure 
tasks mentioned above.

Who wants a LUG?  Let's not all be shy now...

I will show up (or find a sub), do my best impression of Jim or Hans* 
(announcements, introduce the presenter) and, given demand, facilitate 
net access. Who else would like to play? 8-)

I'm assuming for the moment that the first GC-PLUG-TNG** meeting would 
be January 27 '04.

* Jim and Hans have an open invitation to continue announcing meetings, 
of course  :-)
