The position is open -- or, more accurately, "vacant" -- anyone want to
"officially" be the president?

(at best, Mike is and I was the "moderator" -- I think David has claimed
the title of press relations, or at the very least doesn't mind taking
the point on this...)

Free Beer!  Free LUG!

Newsletter?  We have a newsletter?  That's news to me! :)

I don't suppose our webpage would qualify -- that's the closest thing we
have to a "newsletter" as anything else.

Not a bad idea -- we could create said key at next month's meeting (as a
bit of "show and tell" on how to do pgp keys) and have anyone/everyone
in attendance sign it with their key (and reciprocally sign theirs as
well).  The fact that the lug's key is signed by so many lends credence
to it's validity, and anyone signed by that key would be a defacto
"member".  (or I suppose we could make a signed list available as
appropriate -- probably just by name only as people tend to be skittish
about easily accessed lists of e-mail addresses...)
