Agreed. It is an issue that we as a LUG can help address, if we can
find the tuits.

The event did indeed emphasize "producerism", which fits into open
source pretty well. 

Unfortunately the turnout was small enough that we only ran for half

I'll look into bringing some CDs and/or handouts to Monday's meeting.
