• Thanks to Ann Strosaker (formerly Ann Funai) who enabled our meetings and continues to help out the community at large. Many thanks also to Rebecca Blake & Lara Kisielewska of Optimum Design (they co-publish Linux Magazine) for creating our mascot "Tuxi" and to Mark Andal for the original cabbie idea. Thanks to Ari Jort - core nylugger whose contributions are too numerous to mention here. Special thanks also go to Peter Norton and Barry Hughes, NYLUG's lead engineers at LinuxWorld Expo, and all of the other NYLUGGERS who volunteered. Without you, we could not have done the show. Good job!
