Ubuntu-us-ma Digest, Vol 13, Issue 14

[C C]

Good seeing/meeting mostly everyone last night (and all those that were
listening in on the conversation).  And Steve, my boyfriend, Matt, would be
greatly interested in talking to you about the upcoming barcamp.  I know he
would like to help out with setup, etc.  You can shoot him an email through
matthewknox at gmail.com.  Ciao everyone!
