It's probably too late to have a table at TCF but we might be able to
leave some info with one of the computer users groups that has a
table. I could check with the Linux Users Group in Princeton (LUGip)
if they'd be OK with having something about MAKE: Princeton. (They
might not be pleased with the collision of their 2nd Wednesday of the
month meetings with some MAKE:Princeton meetings. Maybe I can pull off
some techie diplomacy. <g>)

Suggestions for a quick flyer or handout sheets? The Google Groups
area does have a files area.
Maybe cobble something together from our meeting notes and photos. A
quickie blurb?

P.S. I'll be at TCF on Sunday afternoon.

Normally I would step up to this, but with a vacation this week, Easter, and
then the opening of Oklahoma! (which I desi9gned the set for) on April 23rd,
I have my hands completely full.

But I do like the idea of a flyer there.

Um, isn't the festival April 24 through April 26?

If whomever maintains the google calendar could fix the dates . . .

Wow. My tech skills must be on overload from JavaScripting today. Sorry
I missed this. I could not (immediately) find the calendar. Thanks Nick

Incidentally, I'll be speaking at TCF on Saturday and Sunday on using Open Source Software to do design.

I hope to meet some/all of you in person. I know JD, of course, and have had a few beers with him. ;)

John.
