That reminds me. Does anyone have any connections w/ Nick Petreley? In a recent article, he talked about flying back to visit Missouri. I was wondering if it was through St. Louis or Kansas City. If anyone knows, and he frequently comes through St. Louis, I figure we could invite him to speak at a meeting the next time he's in town.
Thanks, Craig

Nick Petreley (Kansas City, MO) is the founding editor of LinuxWorld magazine, helped establish LinuxWorld Expo, created and first hosted the Golden Penguin Bowl keynote quiz show for the Expo, and is now the Linux analyst for Evans Data Corporation and founding editor of VarLinux.org. He was one of the first journalists to write about Linux, and Red Hat's own founder Bob Young credits Nicholas as a major force behind making the current popularity of Linux possible.

It seems that from the above it is Kansas City, MO.
His blog at LJ: http://www.linuxjournal.com/blog/801587 It took me a couple minutes but I found his address/phone number.
He wrote one of the first howtos I read for making a timeshifting PC for radio I think, possibly for that and TV. Among other articles on Varlinux.org i think he has written freelance for Linux Journal besides the other places mentioned.
