Well, we had a couple of very positive articles about BayLUG last
spring. The San Jose Mercury and the Fremont Argus both sent
reporters to our meeting, and they both wrote very nice, long articles
with pictures and everything. They got picked up by many of the
lesser bay area newspapers and we probably got a couple of dozen new
members as a result.
The reporters are still on the announcements mailing list, last time I
checked, BTW.
