Jim,
I posted this to the NELUG list. The general consensus so far is that this is a
long distance for us. Our nearest member is over 4 hours from Rochester, and
most of us are more than 6 hours away. This means that a temporary display
(setup + manning the layout + teardown) would be unrealistic for us, especially
on such a short timeframe. Some members are interested in supporting a
permanent layout for the museum, since we presumably wouldn't have to be on-site
to babysit the layout.
Feel free to put the museum in touch with us (send them to www.nelug.org, or you
could give them my e-mail address) if you think they might want to pursue this
with us, but I'd hate to "take ownership" of this project from you since we
cannot commit enough resources to do a private layout there in March.
I am x-posting this to rtlToronto, because they are probably the closest LUG to
the Rochester area, and they may be able to help.
This looks like a great opportunity, and it would be a shame to let it get away.
