Mark, 

Thanks for the RSVP. You're the first. Your desired software stack is going to be tricky, but I'm sure we're up to the challenge. 

"SFS" = Software Freedom School, my um... group. Right now, it's just a mailing list, a small starting fund, a bunch of journal entries, some dreams, and the best bunch of helpful friends a guy could hope for. And a successful track record of delivering Free software education and support services. 

"SFS Underground Learning Center" = The comfy-room in the lower level of the Willson home at 4237 W. Grand Ave, Denver, CO 80123

This is a good time for a r3VOLution.
