I'm ready to do this now and share your enthusiasm. If you want to meet up somewhere
we can hammer out a schedule and plan. My suggestion is a coffee shop with
comfortable chairs (the Roasted Bean is my favorite place), but anywere within a few
miles of the Flux meeting place works for me.

This sounds good. I'll also re-submit my suggestion to use the material on the IBM
Developerworks site as an adjunct to any text we choose.

Do you want to setup an initial meeting?

Also, if everyone could chime in on their location and availability it could help
with the initial scheduling.
