- In university settings, one possible way to get the message out, would
- be to start a local users group.
-
- I and several others here at The Ohio State University are discussing
- just that. We feel that there should be a an installation kit that
- others could borrow or copy (most likely SLS, which is excellent),
- documentation of some kind, and access to people that can help with at
- least, but not limited to, installation.
-
- We would also like to start some local projects that those in the user
- group could participate in.
-
- It would be nice if we could make it a club/organization officially
- recognized by the Student Activities Committee.
-
- As for advertising, we could post to local news groups, as well as
- posting signs around campus. It may also be possible to do some
- advertising at some point.
-
- Has anyone else started such a group? I would be interested in
- hearing about your experiences.
