I was thinking that we should set a couple of goals for the year, so we have something to work towards, as well as try for a few training sessions. Topics welcome. Some things that will come up are: firewalls possible amateur radio presentation stuff to do training?

I'm not a mac zealot. Really.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks… Work, outside activities, visitors, etc. First thing. I have posted the poll for the social meeting. Visit the site and log in to vote. Voting closes in 2 weeks. Just enough time to make a decision and send it vis the mailing list. Next thing. I need a new job. My contract ends in just over a month and I don’t have anything lined up yet.
