Anyway, here goes... I was on Meetup.com a few days ago and found that a few folks have started up a new group there. They're calling themselves the new Charlotte Linux Users Group (http://www.meetup.com/charlug/) but I don't recall seeing any of the names on that group in this mailing list. The organizer is Jim Van Fleet, a Ruby guy who started up the Charlotte Ruby Meetup Group ( http://www.meetup.com/charlotte-rb/) last year. The group currently has 13 members (including me), and Jim says that he wants to get 15-20 members before scheduling its first meeting. I'm not sure why he hasn't reached out to this list yet (unless it's broken), but I figure that I'd bring it up here in case anyone here is interested. I have no idea of Jim's group will get any more activity than this one, but I figure injecting a bit of fresh blood into the Charlotte Linux community couldn't hurt at this point.
