I believe I did exactly that.  If you want use GTALUG Inc as (Linux) NPO
umbrella, then you have my support at the board.

Evan, my post was just an idea for those looking for ways to get some
Gov money.  Whether the project is under GTALUG or CLUE, is least of my
concern.

The project needs to be run by someone who can naviagate the Gov grant
system, as well as organize incoming/outgoing of computer parts.  All
I'm saying is, that's not me.  But, I'll help from my side of thing, as
best as I can.

If you and CLUE have idea that you'll like to share with the rest of
Linux community, then I'll work with you.
