in Timonium, MD [http://www.google.com/maps?q=2200+York+Rd,+Lutherville+Timonium,+MD+21093&ie=UTF8&z=15&ll=39.447892,-76.628351&spn=0.012494,0.043259&om=1&iwloc=addr at the fairgrounds]. We will be meeting in the Exhibition Hall meeting
room from 11am until 12 noon. 		=== Welcome ===

My expectations for this meetup are to get to know each other a bit.
Discuss ideas of what the broad goals of the Maryland group should be. I
want to see what level of participation people are willing to give. What
resources we can gather together to work from? Does anyone have any projects or organizations that we can help with in particular via our F/OSS ideals and resources?

I will have a very limited amount of Canonical provided Ubuntu 6.06 LTS CDs. I'm planning to have ISO's of the 6.06 (Dapper) and 6.10 (Edgy) Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu releases to burn as requested and as time allows. === Get Connected ===

Since I've been asked, I'll answer for all to read. There will be a fee ($6 according to the [http://www.gbhc.org website]) to get into the HamFest, but there is no additional charge for us to gather together:) I decided on this venue for a first meeting due to the already present gathering point that many computer enthusiasts will be at anyway. The 11am time slot was chosen for two reasons. The main reason is that it was available for a full hour. The other was that it seems like after being at the show for a few hours it'll be nice to rest a bit and chat.  * Become a [:/Members:member].
