The existing tikiwiki site has gone totally stale as I waited on the
edge of my chair for my web developer pal to whip up the new site. Five
months later, I'm gettin a sore butt from chair-edge-sitting, and the
website in not much closer. I now realize that I will have to rethink
this website thingy, anyone interested in playing ?

Well you'll be enjoying drinks and panini in the company of other geeks,
for one thing. The place is an example of a retail location using
nothing but open source. We'll have a slew of fresh burned linux distros
and single purpose boot CDs on hand. We are developing an all linux
internet cafe with thin client thinkpads and WiFi to the park. A number
of groups are looking at finding a spot on our schedule to gather and
share technologies; GTA-lug executive board, perl-mongers, the ruby
users group, the asterisk/ voip group and others. We hope to get in a
range of high tech toys for sale (USB keys with fun things on them, WiFi
cards and ThinkGeek type silliness) and soon the shelves will be stocked
with swag; hats, t-shirts, stickers and pocket protectors festooned with
penguins, logos and geeky things on them.

but other than that.. nothing really.. would a 20ft tall tux on the wall
qualify ?
if you think so we'll put one up..
