I think this sounds like a better approach.  For example, it could be
possible to go as far as renting a small generator to provide power, and
having a few tables and a couple of computers set up actually running
Linux.  However, I think we also need to consider the costs.  While TLUG
funds are in pretty good shape these days, we do also have plans for
things like getting a CD writer and producing TLUG Archive CD-ROMs and
things like that.  If the expenses are not too great, this kind of
workshop might be worth doing.

Do you know if we would need a permit from the police to set up
something like that?  This is definitely an area where we want to be
sure everything is in order.

Cheers,

Jonathan
