Hi all, hi Dave,

I agree.  Dave why not email out the linuxcaffe calendar to the TLUG
list once a month or once every two weeks?  Also it would be handy if
you could list the stuff on:

* the TLUG wiki,
* the Seneca College zenit wiki frontpage if Mr. Selmys doesn't mind it,
* upcoming.org (good because it requires no registration),
* and/or Facebook (good because I can see what events my Facebook
friends are going to)?

Yes, it'd be a bit of work to do all that emailing and listing, but
it'd be worth it: you'd get more business for your cafe. :)

Btw, unrelated question: what if I ran a usability workshop/BOF once?
Or an "intro to Emacs"?  (I would base such an intro on Phil Sung's
original slides from the new Emacs 22 online tour. It'd be short but
cool.)

Regards,
Jason
