[Cialug] Ames LUG Flyer

[Scott Prader]

I like the flyer.  I can't see how there could be any confusion with the
inclusion of the BSD logo, since anyone that works in the field should be
aware of BSDs existence and important role in the world today with or
without a biased view.  I think my only bit would be making a grammatical
change from "Yeah, we do too" to "Yeah, we do, too".
