[Discuss] Group in Rhode Island interested in Linux etc

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

Hi Randall, sorry it has taken me so long to respond. I was initially
thinking of Linux installfests, but since it looks like some of the
interests are outside the scope of Linux, per se. After we moved our
server, possibly we could set you up a listserv. Or they could join the blu
discuss or Natick FOSS discussion lists.
