This is an update about the next Fedora users meeting for the Washington DC
region. I apologize for double posting, but many people have not yet found our
google-groups mailing list. That mailing list can joined at
http://groups.google.com/group/dc-fedora-users.
We will hold the meeting on January 18th at the National Museum of the
American Indian on the Mall, room 4018-4019. The nearest subway stop is
L'Enfant Plaza; use the 600 Maryland Ave. exit. The meeting will start
at 10:15 am (the building opens at 10) and run until we finish or 5 pm, with a
break for lunch on your own. The NMAI has an excellent cafeteria that serves
Native American food. If you are using the subway stop indicated above, note
that there is a Starbucks just inside the building where you emerge. We will
not be able to supply coffee at the meeting.
The program we have so far is listed below. Presenters should plan for about 20
minutes each with plenty of time for questions. Note that there is a time for
short informal reports about the use of Fedora. Anyone is welcome to take 5 or
10 minutes to tell us about what you are doing or planning to do with Fedora.
