Just wanted to send out a quick note, thanking everyone who showed up 
for this evening's meeting.  James Turner, as previously mentioned, was 
on hand to give a wide-ranging talk about many topics, from the 
LinuxWorld/O'Gara debacle, to journalistic integrity, to licensing, and 
onward.  Lively discussion followed -- which made Ben's absence felt 
even moreso.  Regardless, thanks are due to James for making this 
evening an informative and enjoyable one -- fun was had by all.

Next month's topic, to be presented by Ira Krakow, is everyone's 
favorite Windows (non-)emulator, WINE (www.winehq.org).  I look forward 
to hearing about what can, and can't, be done with WINE and its many 
related offshoots.

Also, there will be swag!  Yes, that's right: through generous 
donations, there will be some fun stuff to be had.  And, if I remember 
to actually bring up the raffle tickets from the car, it may even be 
randomly distributed.

Lastly, thanks are due to Rob Lembree: tonight we (finally!) had a 
chance to test the wireless equipment he installed in Martha's basement 
last month.  It does seem to drop some packets from the restaurant 
floor, itself, but -- and counter-intuitively -- it seems to work great 
from the upstairs meeting room.  Go figure.

Look forward to seeing everyone next month!

-Ken

P.S. Matt: his name was Roosta.  How could I have forgotten?!
