Taking this a little further off topic...  (I'm stuck with gmail at
the moment and can't adjust the subject line)

I'm not terribly into video production, but this appears to be a good
spot to drop something I've been thinking of since the introduction of
linuxcaffe.  (And something I desperately wanted to do for the
original Avalon Project launch)

Again, not really /directly/ related to the expo, but maybe something
to consider anyway...

Webcasts and/or recordings of TLUG meets for distribution over the
internet might be a really good idea.

To be completely honest, there are lots and lots of folks who don't
know anything about linux, open source, floss, or related subjects -
but are hearing more and more of these terms being used in plenty of
places - including newspapers (most recently+locally, the T.O. Star)
and such.

With the possibility of more federal elections coming soon, and given
the "floss jolt" that the political parties were subjected too during
the 2004 elections*...

There might be a fair number of potential members that (quite
possibly) also don't come to (L)UG meetings simply because they do not
know what to expect.

Video might be a great way to "ease" these folks into it?

original files, but Google has some remnants of my involvement;

For what it's worth, I'll be working on an "upgrade" to the original
for the next election.  :-)
