>> 

Yep. Phil Molloy, a new volunteer, took a handful of them (the small box
with the "winners") and typed them into a database form I gave him. We've 
still got a ton of unprocessed names; if a few people can pitch in, we'll 
get through the entire set fairly quickly.

>> 2. when's the next meeting date for which you need a speaker?  I want to

>>  I know I need to write up a little description - a paragraph or so...
>> 

I'm waiting to hear from Lar Kaufman wrt Matt Welsh being available
for July. I'd also asked a couple guys I met at Linus' talk, but they
haven't gotten back to me yet. I've submitted a generic "To Be Announced"
topic for the Calendar, and if I get a confirmation soon I'll talk to
Heather immediately; it *may* be barely possible to modify the topic
before the Calendar ships, although it's somewhat disruptive of the
production process if done extremely late.

>> 3. has anybody been accumulating the e-mail on the linux list?  there's 
>> some 
>> good info that floats by from time to time and we should keep track of it.
>> 

All mail to the mailing lists is archived on the mail server. It's not
currently in a place where it's accessible remotely, but when the new
server is operational, I'll set it up so the archives are sitting within
an FTP area.
