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

[C David Rigby]

Hello Chew,

I sort of serving as a go between here for Dang Thanh Son, the person from
NUS who first contacted me via the softwarefreedomday.sg site seeking a
speaker. Perhaps it is time we bring him into the loop, as it seems your
questions about the audience are best directed to him. He is not on the TUSG
mailing list, last I looked. He can be reached at:

Thanh [dot] Dang [at] sun [dot] com
