[Ubuntu Chicago] Fwd: Invitation to Flourish 2010, Chicago

[swoody]

Dray,

It's np, it took me a bit to get used to 'Reply to all' too :)

I will definitely keep you updated with any new info, although I'm sure
this ML thread will contain all the updates and info, too. We could
definitely set up something so we can meet up before Flourish starts, so
you won't have to worry about getting lost or having a tough time finding
anything. Also, I know this is a rather spur-of-the-moment decision, so if
something does come up, or you can't make it, just let me know :)

Rich - if you could please drop a line as soon as you get a chance, I
think it would be good to see if there's any way we can still get an event
pack even with this late notice [1]. Also, let them know that if it would
make things easier on their end, I would be willing to pick up the cost
for some sort of priority shipping (as long as it doesn't cost *too* much)
so we could receive this before next weekend.
