[Tfug] Face to face meetingplace

[techlists at phpcoderusa.com]

I don't think there is a decline in Linux usage, if anything I think
usage has increased substantially.  Linux is main stream.  I think the
culture surrounding Linux has changed and those guys and gals using
Linux 18 years ago might have grown up or old.  I think Linux was
counter culture 20 years ago and now everyone is using it.  I watched
the decline in the lists.  10 years ago the PLUG and TFUG were alive, as
was AZPHP.  Now they are ghost towns.  

I hope I can find a hands on group to join that is in the Phoenix East
valley. 

Happy hunting!!

It's a damn shame that apparently Linux stuff used to be way more popular about ten years ago when I was a little kid and not into computers as much, and now that I've discovered it and fallen in love with it, there's not many people around in Tucson to enjoy it with.
