Thanks Ian. I think that these guidelines will work. Can we get an
announcement posted on SVLUG's website, with a page containing the above
guidelines?

Also...we do need a logo for this.. How about a Student SVLUG logo
contest? The illustrious SVLUG officers could judge the entries at our
next meeting. Any takers? E-mail me your jpg's!
