It seems to me that you guys should write up an official announcement,
including some "after talk entertainment," be that a pub or pizza. Most
people will go to a pizza place but some people don't like bars, if
that's any matter. (And you can get beer at the pizza place.) I'll be
happy to forward it on to the LUNI list (http://www.luni.org/)  -- so
far, the only thing they know is that he's coming to town (and their
meeting is on Wed. so they're trying to get him to go to that).

The other thing is that UFO Chicago is TOTALLY about what he's talking
about, inasmuch as we're interested in free software; not "just linux".
That's not a slam to wonderful lugs everywhere, but it's just our focus.
So it kills me that I can't be there, and I'm hoping that some of the
UFO people can make it.
