Sounds like a good plan. I'll plan on being there by noon, for the Linux
basics session.

We also need to schedule a regular place for these meetings. Our current
schedule is as follows:

2nd Wednesday - Volunteer meeting at Pioneer Global, focused on meeting
    preparations
3rd Wednesday - Main meeting - MIT 1-390 through June
4th Wednesday - Admin meeting (location to be determined), focused on
    longer-term projects such as InstallFest

I'd like to do this. We'll have to see if we can arrange a similar
arrangement with O'Reilly where we pay for what we sell.
