I'm going to forward this as is. At the end is an offer for a free pass to the event. So, if you're a developer of some sort and would like a chance to go then drop me your name, email, and phone number and we shall have a raffle! Need not be present to win, blah blah blah, may hold drawing at a public location (food establishment) for the fun of it.
If you've got a contact for any other groups *in Eugene* like the University or something then forward them this entire message. I'd like the opportunity to be as fair and open as possible so every developer type we have in town (that excludes me, the hardware nut). Also, Email me each groups contact info to me so I can notify of any changes!! Being the event is in June that gives enough time to get the word out. I'm thinking raffle at the end of April. So, please help spread the word.
