[Ubuntu-SG] Speaker Request for NUS SFD, 19 Sept 2008 @ NUS

[Chen Xiangpeng]

Hi,

Might be a bit OT here:

I've read thru your slides. I think they're great. I got a lil suggestion
though. You might wanna talk about Wine in your presentation. I believe that
if you can convince people that they can ease their transition pains by
using Wine, I think it'll make the idea of switching a lot more attractive
:)
