The meetings are free and open.  Just come on down.  If you have any specific 
interests, let us know.

I'll be there.  I'm just going for the expo though.  I looked into the 
volunteer page, and they're basically asking you for two 12-hour days of 
volunteering in exchange for one day of conference.  While that comes out to 
$25/hr, that's a long two days for a family guy such as myself.

In BLU, or Linux, or open source, or geekery in general?

list, man!
