2010-05-22 Thread Bruno Wolff III
After three Fedora Community Gaming sessions have consistently had enough people to play, but just barely, I want to see if there is a way I can boost attendance a bit. We can't handle everyone who has Fedora installed showing up to play. (At least not without a lot of work.) But I'd l
