[TriLUG] once in a lifetime - Jason Tower speaks at Triangle NTUsers Group on Tuesday (no, he didn't defect - he is speaking on Linux)

[Jim Ray]

please feel free to accept/decline invitation to meeting.  if you don't like
the 10 year old charter, join the group and do something about it.

how about a little cease on the "i'll argue about anything" tude and the
waste of bandwidth...

i didn't write the charter and am only the messenger (well, outgoing
president, too, that is going out on a limb on my last meeting as the group
leader).

how about a little "thank you" for organizing the meeting to introduce linux
to a winders world?  bill gates prolly hates my arse now.  open minds are
better than open source.

geez.

Damn straight. Let the professionals get their important work done,
while hobbyists do silly stuff like write the linux kernel and invent
the Apple I
