			For the Tuesday meeting, a group of 12 to 15 of us met at Valentino's
			for pizza and business.

			First we appointed a new president and vice president--Kevin Neff and
			Steve Fox, respectively. Jim Evans is still left holding the Bag :) I
			(Kevin) am fairly new to the part of the group that attends meetings,
			so I included a mug shot of me and my basement. If you're interested
			in presenting for future meetings, talk to me or Steve.

			Secondly, we addressed meeting times, frequency, etc. The group came
			to the consensus that a formal meeting should be held at the Heinz
			Center once each month, rotating between Tuesday and Thursday of the
			second week. This plan is tentative; the usual meeting dates and times
			will be observed until I verify that the room is open and the web site
			is updated. We agreed that this meeting should be held at 6:00 PM.

			The lunch schedule will not change. However, an informal social event
			will be held on a random evening each month. We did not decide how
			the social event would be arranged. Unless there are any better ideas,
			I think we should decide when and where at each monthly meeting.

			Finally, there was a great deal of discussion about boot camp. The feeling
			I had as I left the meeting was that we were leaning toward using a live
			CD for a Saturday session and then inviting people to our next meeting
			For those who came to our monthly meeting, we would help people with
			their questions and maybe do some installations.

			The actual schedule for the boot camp (the Saturday session) was not
			decided, but it looks like we're going to do 50 min presentations and
			limit the instruction to a total of 4 hours. The thought here is that
			there could be multiple short presentations during the same hour, or a
			long presentation. Also, there will be a need for assistants to help
			people who fall behind in the demos.

			Steve Fox, who has agreed to organize the boot camp, said that he wants
			to reach a computer literate audience. We all agreed that Grandma and
			Grandpa probably were not going to come, so we could breeze through a
			lot of the basics in a "desktop tour" in the first hour.

			Other possible topics are listed below. Which topics are eventually
			picked depend on what Steve thinks are important and who is willing to
			make a presentation. Send e-mail to Steve about what topics you'd like
			to present. Remember, this will only happen if people are involved.
			To encourage people to assist us in the boot camp effort, I will buy
			a round for the first presenter to commit and the first to people who
			volunteer for a non-presenting role.

			The next KLUG activity is lunch on Thursday, Match 17. The next meeting
			time is Thursday, March 24 at 7:00 PM (the usual time). We will announce
			the new meeting schedule at the March 24 meeting.
