Ryan,

It's been nearly two weeks since our last correspondence.  We need to
get a date and location set so we can start advertising the event.  I
would suggest a minimum of two weeks from now and not more than about
five weeks.  If you can't find a suitable date within that time frame,
perhaps we should hold one at Valley St. and schedule UD for a later
date.

We've received an offer of helping with Gentoo installs from Matt Smith
and his brother at our next Installfest.
