We should probably suss them out a little bit.  Juan could too, if
he's interested in being a faculty sponsor (don't know your schedule
or plans Juan, just thinking aloud).

The LUG members so far have been mainly people who sysadmin or program
for a living.  Old, staid, boring and we talk about things like
clustering (sigh) and thin X terminals (yawn), and we're lucky to get
five people at a meeting.

This turns off a lot of kids that show up to meetings.  So a UAS Linux
club would probably attract more users & quickly eclipse the
membership of this group.  IMHO that would be a good thing, even if it
meant that I would be the only member of the non-UAS club. :)  I don't
have the time to promote or do much more organizing than keeping the
web server running for the LUG as it exists now, so it is fairly
stagnant.

I see a lot of talent on the gaming club site for web design, php,
etc. that is just beyond my skills or interests.  I also see a lot of
energy that could be put to good use promoting open source *nix in SE
Alaska.  However it depends on UAS students feeling the same way.

Cheers,

James
