Response does seem a little underwhelming.  I've only been a member for
about 4 months - and I'm suprised that with such a huge attendance at
meetings, and such a busy mailing list, that there isn't an avalanche of
interest.  It also suprises me that we could be short of a speaker for
the next meeting.

Linux doesn't work if everyone just takes - you have to give back in
proportion.  People: If you aren't out there writing OpenSource code or
manuals, or giving presentations - then the least you can offer to do is
stand in a store for a couple of hours answering questions and handing
out fliers. (People who helped get that school set up are exempt from
this flaming!)
