[Linux-users] interest

[Ari Pollak]

Unfortunately, the individual who started the idea of an NULUG, Tom
Olson, left Northeastern. Nobody has yet volunteered to take any further
steps towards forming such a group, so it is currently stalled. In the 
meantime, Crew (which maintains the Linux machines in 201 Cullinane) 
is considering holding a Linux installfest sometime over the next few 
months, possibly along with an introductory talk on the subject.

The linux-users mailing list is technically only for discussion of 
Crew's Linux project (maintaining the lab machines), so keeping 
up-to-date on events could be easier by subscribing to the crew list 
(https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/crew).
