How about having people submit questions (either directly to your
email or to this list), then have you (or someone) collect them to a
weekly posting to the list.  That way we have them all together, and
at some specified date, everyone that wants to can submit their
answers to the list of questions.  The people who posted trivia
questions _then_ post the answers to their questions, and scores are
tallied (tossing out any questions that didn't receive 'true' answers
from their originators, and subtracting the appropriate amounts from
people who answer their own questions).  We should probably also set
up some sort of guidelines as far as the questions go.

Definitely smart :)
Up in Lawrence they simply move it inside and bring inside-cookable
stuff.  The main difference I see in the tone between the two
groups' meetings is that the Kulua one is more relaxed, kick-back,
don't-necessarily-talk-about-linux, whereas the Aclug one is more
focused on discussing linux.

Just about any evening during the week is fine for me.
