[FreeGeek] a few words of introduction

[_Rowan Lipkovits]

* was pointed this way by rusl; have spent a long time on the portland freegeek
periphery due to the involvement of numerous friends there.

* still tentative about taking a huge role in any organization following two
years of endless, hopeless meetings at the doomed butchershop floor gallery --
however I am interested in helping however I can (likely more on the grunt end
of things) and should have time to spare to do so.

* Abstractly appreciate the ideals of free + open source software, but am not
so abreast as to have favourite flavours and distributions.

* Love to see old technology (hardware, software) pressed into useful service
once again; I maintain a certain preoccupation with certain elements of defunct
(MS-DOS-era) computing (old games, ANSI art, dial-up BBS software)

* Might recommend sending a Van Freegeek representative to the monthly
Vancouver 2600 meeting, + those of various user groups
(http://www.vanlug.bc.ca/ for instance) to see if any additional interest can
be drummed up or word passed along.

Will keep lurking, hopefully to turn out at the next meeting.  Cheers!
