Quoted from KCLUG.org "KCLUG meetings are held on the first Wednesday
and third Tuesday of each month."

I have setup a JCCCLUG, there isn't much activity on the "board/list".
I know they have *nix classes, which I have taken one of them. Maybe
we could have the teachers help put the word out for groups like us. I
have wanted to give a talk about *nix maybe in the intro class, but
don't think I have enough experience for that yet.
