Ryan,

Thanks for your response.  I think Jan. 29 is rather short notice.
In addition, some of our members will be busy with a LANfest of our
own that day.  I don't think Feb. 12 or 13 should be a real problem,
since we usually hold our events during the day.  Typically we have
our Installfests from 10 am - 4 pm or 11 am - 5 pm, although a few
have dragged on until about 6.  Some of us normally meet the 2nd
Sunday for GEMAIR / dmapub maintenance, but that can be rescheduled. 
Feb. 5, 6, 12, or 13 should be OK, but we won't be able to publish
anything before Feb. 26th in "The DataBus".  We'll just need to use
e-mail, word of mouth, flyers on campus and computer stores, etc. to
get the word out.  We should probably avoid Feb. 19 and 20 because of
TechFest at Sinclair College that weekend.
