So ... it is starting to get warmer, and it might still be a bit early to
get terribly serious about this.  However, there seemed to be enough
interest that I wanted to make certain that this suggestion stayed on our
plate for a while.  We should probably start figuring out who is going to
champion this activity, and maybe think about when we want to do it.

Please remember that the BLUG is a fairly informal organization.  If
someone out there has an activity out there that they'd like to spearhead,
by all means pick up the ball and run with it.  My only request is that
you let me know, especially if you plan on mentioning the BLUG.  I
primarily want to make certain that what is going on isn't going to cause
problems for those who sponsor us, in particular the U.S. Dept. of
Commerce for our meeting space and Tummy.com who provides web and mailing
list services.
