If you want to get new users to Linux, more of the meetings need to be more

What will the experienced guys (most of kplug these days) do during the
meetings?
Advertising is another thing, someone mentioned lower attendance at the
meetings. There has to be a way to get more advertising out there for the
meetings. San Diego based web sites, free add in maybe the Reader and other
similar publications? I'm not sure where the group advertises outside of
Computer Edge.
This is the most important, IMHO. We used to get lots of people from
Computer Edge. This is how I found KPLUG too, many years ago. But
everyone has gone online now. Computer Edge is but a thin ghost of its
former self. I never read it anymore. I go online. As does just about
anyone else into Linux. Maybe Google Adwords to draw people to the KPLUG
website?
I also believe that advertising the meetings in non-computer publications might
help attendance.
Are you aware of any appropriate non-computer publications? Can you get
us into them? That would be great!
