Sorry, too, for the short deadline, but you know how life keeps getting in the way of important LUG business. Here's a draft of what I'd like to publish as a handout for us to give away at the Hosstraders booths. Suggestions and corrections on facts, style, grammar and spelling welcomed. Also, a suggestion on how many copies I should print.

Draft follows:

Greater New Hampshire Linux User Group

Who Are We?
Membership in the GNHLUG is open to all at no cost. We share a common interest in Linux and Free/Open Source Software (FOSS). Our range of skills, experience and interest is diverse – we are hobbyists, amateurs, professionals, system administrators, developers, lawyers, students, world-renowned experts and beginners. We share an interest in learning more and in helping each other.


What Do We Do?
Representatives of the group can often be found at computer conferences or other meetings giving presentations, offering insights or advocating for Linux or FOSS. Several chapters of the group meet for social and educational purposes (see the schedule below). At the meetings, there is usually a demonstration of a program of interest and almost always an opportunity to ask questions. There is an active mailing list where you can seek support for problems or ask questions. There are also several very-low-traffic mailing lists for meeting announcements.


When and Where Do We Meet?
Currently, there are five chapters meeting around the state:

NOTE: I also have the following paragraph in tabular format, and I think it helps pick out the facts more easily. It just pasted badly, so I cut it. I'll probably go with that format
