I think this fellow has a good point (or rather, the people who
approached 
him did).

We (GNHLUG) should probably look at how we cast GNHLUG activities - as a 
helpful group of people interested in the promotion of Linux. (Is this
true?)

Maybe we should present InstallFests as being for those who want
assistance
installing Linux (vs: for those who need help), and our meetings as
being 
for those who want to socialize and talk about common interests - that
happen to involve Linux.

I definitely want to encourage all of our chapter leads to read the
article.
