Man, SC elections!   10 USA LUGs on am I, and this is the first
elections I think I've seen.  The tension is palpable.  & still no
candidate platforms!  Hmm.  The only change I see is a location change
for the PM's. ;)

Ok, I'll vote for someone who wants to set up a local meeting time
simultaneous with the Global Linux meeting.  ;)  Or, who wants to supply
soft drinks & pizza out here to Berkeley.  ;)
