I received this as a board member of SCOSUG (Southern CT OpenSource UserGroup). I thought the event and meeting may interest the Debian Events list and so I'm forwarding it along.
Please contact the sender directly as I'm only forwarding this as a courtesy to them and you. I will not forward any more of these announcements unless requested to do so. Sorry for the short notice but I just checked that mail folder today. -joe -----Forwarded Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: scosug-wheel: Planning Community Based FOSS Event in NYC > Date: 04 Feb 2004 20:40:59 -0800 > > > This letter is to inform you and your group's members about current > plans to try and organize a community based replacement for LinuxWorld > in NYC.
