In all seriousness, I think it's an excellent idea and an excellent idea to invite the Red Hat worker bees. I have a contact at RH (I used to work for the manager of training, if she's still there). Firm up some plans, and if you want, I'll contact her. I don't hang out in bars much anymore (or eat nachos for that matter), but I'm down for this. When is it again? GIYF, Lan. Ah ... May 9-11. My calendar is open except for a pesky Kplug presentation the night of the 10th. BTW, Dave Cook probably also has good contacts at RH. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
