For those interested, the talk is now on the schedule: Ottawa, Canada Linux Users Group December 2001 General Meeting Thursday, December 6, 2001 =A01900h - 2100h Algonquin College Rideau Campus Room A130 see http://www.oclug.on.ca/ for more detail The more "local" FreeBSD people that can turn up the better. In fact, if we can, I'd like to organise a little pre-meeting meeting to meet those people. Say 6:30 somewhere on the campus.... -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
