Joey,

I guess that you have seen that the Club LUG thing has been cancelled.
Here is the response that I got from their contact person today.
Are any of you guys interested in trying to take the tests anyway?
Notice that he doesn't come out and say what the cost would be. In
a previous e-mail, he said that there was a group rate of $200 per
person for 5 or more for the Club LUG registration, so I'm hoping
that we can talk him into something similar if we can get a sufficiently
large number of people. I think that I can get 6 or 7 from LC.

Wendell

Hi Wendell,

We did do some promotion - LWN, SearchEnterpriseLinux, and Linux Journal
all had postings of the event on their sites, there was just
unfortunately not enough time to really promote the event.

There is probably a way for me to arrange a group exam lab for your
group in New Orleans near the beginning of June. Please draw up a list
of who all wants to take exams, which exams they want, etc, and I'll see
about getting that together.

Thanks,
wesley
