Due to illness, Lindsay can't be with us tonight. Our first half, as well as the OLPC Friends BoF, will now consist of the following two talks:
==Vafa Khalighi: Introduction to TeX== Vafa Khalighi will be giving an introduction to TeX, the typesetting system. Next month, Vafa will be giving a more in-depth talk about TeX. ==Jon Jeremy: Collection Management== Jon Jeremy will be giving an overview of collection management software. The remainder of the program is unchanged.
