Is there sufficient interest in having the March meeting at CC's? If you don't email your interest, we won't know. Edmund, would you reserve the room if there is?
For me and Dustin, it is not a matter of location but simply of time and effort. We would encourage any effort by BRLUGers and Linux enthusiasts to hold the meetings at different locations, venues, events. Simply suggest something. Anything. Such as: Linux LAN parties/gaming, Linux Install Fests, Linux & Food gatherings, etc. Box 'o parts for Newbie Night: Bring em on. I may bring a box of junk myself.
