[NBLUG] Special Event Announcement; RedHat Road Tour

by Eric Eisenhart

WHAT: NBLUG Special Event TOPIC: RedHat Road Tour SPEAKERS: Jeremy Hogan, James McDermott, Dave Lawrence, Jonathan Opp from Red Hat (http://redhat.com/roadtour/meet/) WHERE: O'Reilly and Associates, Sebastopol http://nblug.org/directions.cgi http://ora.com/oreilly/seb_directions.html WHEN: Wednesday, November 13th @ 6:30PM This is a special event on a *different* day than usual, starting earlier than usual, but at the regular O'Reilly location. NBLUG is lucky enough to be the only Northern California stop on the RedHat Road Tour. Four men. Two weeks. Five thousand miles. And one solitary purpose: To discover the state of Linux in America. Yes, that's right; four crazy RedHat employees are driving all over the country in an RV and one of their stops is Sebastopol to talk to the members of NBLUG. It looks like the basic format will be one hour of general socializing, mingling and refreshments (you might want to bring a little money for food) until about 7:30, then a demo of RedHat 8.0 for 20-30 minutes, then an unknown topic or maybe Q&A. So: show up early and often; bring your appetite; bring lots of really difficult questions for RedHat that you always wanted to know the answer to. http://redhat.com/ http://redhat.com/roadtour/ OTHER UPCOMING EVENTS: November 12th: Meeting; GNU Privacy Guard (GPG); Augie December 10th: Meeting; Building an Embedded Linux Prototype; BlueMug January 14th: Meeting; TuxPaint drawing software for children; Bill Kendrick January ??th: InstallFest; probably February 11th: Meeting; Intermediate PHP (tentative) March 11th: Meeting; Linux BBC (Bootable Business Card) Project -- Eric Eisenhart NBLUG Co-Founder & President Pro Tempore for Life The North Bay Linux Users' Group http://nblug.org/ eric(a)nblug.org
