[NTLUG:Discuss] Volunteer projects in Dallas area

[Josh Miller]

I was recently talking with the leader of a boyscout troup in Garland about 
doing some more basic computer information sessions.  If that kind of 
environment sounds liek somethign your interested.  Also my old UG at Texas 
Tech is planning on doing some information sessions to familiarize students 
with linux.  And possibly do some more advanced info afterwards.  I could 
get you in contact with them, if you want to help with preparing material, 
or drive out and help them with presentation.
