The only thing I ask if a small group wants to go off and do their own thing is to post a notice on TLUG mailing list saying they are doing it, and hopefully give a posting on how the event went. With our new Wiki, I'll add a post the results on the wiki.

Some years back there was the Linux at the Movies, Linux Motorsports, and Linux Bike Club. They all seem to have disappeared, but I'm sure the people that took part in them are still around.
