[ubuntu-us-in] Notes from 2007-09-10 Indiana LoCo team meeting

[Nate Dobbs]

My excuse is travel,

I'm in Chicago for the week and unable to get internet access at-will. I
don't understand why the Hilton charges $10 a day for internet access, so I
just wait until I make it in to my AIX training course to get online. Sorry
for missing again everyone, I'll be at Ohio Linux Fest, and I'm ordering my
T-shirt once I get back from Chicago (Friday Sept 14th).
