[Cialug] Bruce Perens (spokesperson & one of leaders of Free Software and Linux) - tomorrow

[Matt Vincent]

I think Dave Weis sent out an e-mail a few weeks ago about Bruce Perens
talking at the Java Users Group tomorrow.  I just wanted to send out a
reminder that this is tomorrow night (6pm) at the DMACC West campus
auditorium.  Bruce and another speaker from Sun are going to be calling in
from California and we have the room wired for Q&A with the speakers, etc.
Even if you can only make it out there from 7-8, we'd like to have you
there... but if you showed up late, you'd miss the free pizza :)

If you want to attend, just shoot an e-mail to mail at sourceallies.com and
we'll up the pizza count.

Please find some details below:

Thanks - Matt
