[SGVLUG] New Linux Lug

[Greg Stark]

Turf WAR warning >> hmm, isn't Azusa part of the SGV?? 

I think the valley is large enough for at least three or four Linux LUGs
anyway.  The San Gabriel Valley proper is huge.  Pasadena is at the head of
the valley, hence the reference "Crown City", or "Crown of the Valley".  La
Verne is out in the Pomona Valley.  Azusa is right between Pasadena and La
Verne some 30 miles equal distance.  The drive is a killer during evening
traffic on a weekday.  

I hope they promote themselves at Citrus College.

I wish them well, but the new lug may have a hard time of it.  The name is
even
less descriptive than "Route 66", and I just about didn't even bother to
follow
the link to find out where it was.  Worse, Linux is more mainstream than it
used to be, and I fear that some potential members will be turned off by
the 'freaks' term.  Not everybody's sense of humor goes that way.
