[TriLUG] Steve Mann?

[stan briggs]

joe, etc.,

no, no 'in' with him. i got the posting from TriLUG actually. from
following the links that were in the posting i, also, concluded that i
was talking about Steve Mann. i'm not sure that i know who ESR is,
actually. (though after a little research i have figured out that ESR is
probably Eric S. Raymond who, i believe, spoke at NCSS&M, which i did
attend and thouroughly enjoyed).

i thought that the subject (the wearable computing stuff) looked
interesting enough that it would be symbiotic of us to either have him
speak to each group or to both groups together. steve does seem to be
more fervent about Open Software, though.

my $.02,
stan

TriLUG.

Lisa, Michael and I were the about the only people from NC*SA who came.

However despite the URL at the bottom of Stan's posting, I think he's
talking about Steve Mann, of wearable computer/cyborg fame.

Stan, do you have a personal "in" with Steve? Does he come to places
like RTP?
