anyone here in (or around) Binghamton still trying to get the US-NY-Binghamton group going? I'd really like to get involved.

I made this a stickie for a while -- lets try to get some activity in Binghamton!!
No I'm not from Binghamton but I'm a huge Ottawa Senators fan and by default the Binghamton Senators.
Just joined, I'm from Binghamton
IRC: is irc.freenode.net@#ubuntu-us-ny
2 in the Binghamton area. Anyone else?
I'm definitely interested. Not sure how to get started.
The steps to getting started are:
(note: "Just Do It" is the theme)
1. Find a location (a location in a 'good part' of town that is considered safe and secure)
- Has Internet connectivity (this is a requirement for most geeks leaving the house)
- Has an area that can be 'reserved' for a meeting
- (optional) has a projector and screen
- (optional) will help promote the group (advertise the meeting to bring 'customers')
2. Schedule some meetings
- Get some 'speakers' lined up that will present interesting topics
- Plan on hosting some 'special' events -- launch parties, bug jams, install fests
- Hold an Ubuntu Hour
- Have some CDs ready to hand out
3. Promote the group to area LUGS (Linux User Groups)
4. Promote the group to area colleges that have CS departments

After you get #1 done contact me and I can help with the other bullets.
