[Cialug] CIALUG Group project?-- flying e-book... DUCK!!!

[Kyle H]

No volunteers quite yet unfortunately. Does anyone on the list want to help
get this going with researching ideas? I'm going to check in with a few
people i know. Does anyone have any ideas, or want to do some digging on
the interwebs?

Thank you
