Hi Shawn; That's great news about the possibility of a LinuxFest! I'm pretty excited to hear that CLUG is considering doing something of that magnitude.
I'd like to express my support for the idea and offer my help in whatever might be needed to set it up. I'd also like to ask permission to podcast the event 'almost live' while it's occuring. This sounds like an excellent opportunity to get some global coverage of CLUG and an opportunity to get some free press both out of me and my podcast network. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in? Thanks!
