[NTLUG:Discuss] VA Linux Systems -> Demo Days

[Chris Cox]

Again...let's distance the two events somewhat.  Let's focus on
the Linux Demo Day....and work on the 24hr. Game thing in the background.

Brian Finley's email is bfinley at valinux.com.  Go ahead an start socializing
your 24hour Game event with him.  Who knows, VA may be interested in
sponsoring the event.  Btw, Scott Draeker (Pres. of Loki) is VERY interested
in coming to Dallas and talking to NTLUG....I wonder if he'd mind getting his
hands dirty???

Regards,
Chris
