You do realize I've been holding Linux meetings in Chandler, Queen Creek
and Avondale for a few years now...
Maybe this is why the attendance is so low.
We even tried Burton Barr Library, Gangplank, The Queen Creek Library
Our meetings are hands on but we really didn't get much interest. Maybe
5-10 max.
I'm on the Linux elitist mailing list for about 17 years now... it's dead
mostly too.
Join the slack?
