[sllug-members]: Fiber for Salt Lake and Utah Movement

[Adam Barrett]

Thomas,

I am with you and thank you for starting this discussion.

I personally don't know much about the backends, facilities needed,
however I am willing to research these things.

Meeting place, Salt Lake County Libraries are great meeting places,
and free. Also many schools in the area will happily support us, let's
get a census of where people in this group are and we can plan
accordingly.
