[TriLUG] (Web Security 101) Raleigh.pm NEXT Thursday January 28, 7:15pm

[Brad Oaks]

Wanted to remind folks about tonight's meeting (a deviation from our
normal 3rd Thursday of the month).

Also the raleigh.pm.org site is down due to a hardware failure.  The
content is also available here:
http://raleigh-pm.dyndns.org/

Looking forward to seeing those who have already RSVP'ed.  If you
haven't but do want to attend, send
a message to bradoaks at gmail.com with RSVP in the subject.

Thank you,
--bradoaks
