Is there a way the lug can get publicity from helping out, something on the wall saying computers and IT support provided by the DCGLUG. That way it shows that us Linux users are not just a bunch of geeks who spend hours hunched over a computer (a popular stereotype), but people who get out there, and have real lives and are also keen to help others. It also reflects the whole OSS community in a good way. Which will be a good thing.
