[ale] group merger ALE + GA400-Linux

[Jim Kinney]

Hey Chuck!
wanna sign up on the meetup.com ALE sight and become an official Co
-Organizer? Since you are the defacto head penguin for ALE-NW...
Look for Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts ALE on meetup.com. You may to widen
the distance in your search.
Anyone else want to start a local meetup off the ALE name let me know
when you sign into Meetup.com and I'll add you to the co-organizers
list. That will allow you to post meeting notices. 
Note: Let's discuss more of this on Thursday as part of the ALE-Central
meeting.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
