[Ubuntu-SG] Ubuntu Talk at NUS

[C David Rigby]

Hello Ho Fucai and friends,

Thanks for the info. Sounds like you have an excellent venue for
presentations. I will work with my Team on designing our presentation or
series of presentations. We will be back in touch after our meeting of
21 February with a concrete proposal.

Regards
C David Rigby
