[NTLUG:Announce] June 19 @ 11am - Samba3 by Example with John Terpstra

[announce@ntlug.org]

Who better to present on Samba 3 by Example
than the author of Samba 3 by Example, John Terpstra!

Come and here about Samba 3 from someone who
knows a lot!

I'm not sure that I've ever met Mr. Terpstra, but it
sounds like he has lots of information to share
beyond just Samba stuff.  So come loaded with
just about any question (time permitting of course!).

I'll have some copies of Samba 3 by Example that you
can buy if you want a take home souvenir... HOWEVER,
I only have 25 or so... if you want to make sure, buy
the book before the meeting... I'm hoping that John
won't mind signing some of them!

John is currently also making rounds wiht a presentation
called "Software Mercantalism Trends:  Return to Feudalism?".
However, I asked if we could have him talk on Samba 3 instead.
BUT... if he shows up and wants to talk about feudalism...
I figure we can be open to that.
