Thank you all so very much for your going away gifts (from gold stars to penguins in clown costumes). I would never have become as passionate as I am with FLOSS/Linux without all of you. So without all of you, I would have never taken a trip to the other side of the world to promote FLOSS. It really wouldn't have even crossed my mind before I joined this awesome community. Keep up the good work. Special thank you to Harding for organizing the going away party. So in proper penguin (or dolphin) good bye, So long and thanks for all the fish! -Bryan <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 1, 2009 at 3:41 PM, David A.

You are cordially invited to his going-away party at Vitarelli's Restaurant in Cherry Hill on Sunday, 10 May, at 19:00 (7 PM). Google Map: <a href="http://tinyurl.com/cpakem" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/cpakem</a> Please email <a href="mailto:rsvp@dtrt.org" target="_blank">rsvp@dtrt.org</a> by 23:59 Thursday the 7th with your name and the number of your guests so that I can make a reservation. I'll confirm your RSVP within 24 hours and send you a reminder Saturday afternoon. Suggested attire: "LUG presenter wear." Wear the classy, clean, but relaxed and possibly geeky clothes you'd wear if you were presenting to your local LUG. Extra credit will go to those who wear Ubuntu-themed attire. Bryan says, "please don't feel like gifts are necessary (I have limited items I can bring to India)," but I suggest you consider giving Bryan a $5-15 gift. He's indicated that he needs a SecureDigital (SD) card with more than 4GB of space and a power adapter for his One-Laptop-Per-Child (OLPC) netbook. Instead of an individual gift, you may indicate in your RSVP that you want to join the pool to buy Bryan an American Express Travelers Gift Certificate. If you so indicate, I'll send further instructions in my reply to your RSVP. There will be a group greeting card for you to sign at the party, but feel free to give Bryan a card just from you. If you know of anyone who should receive this invitation and doesn't read the Cherry Hill LUG or New Jersey Ubuntu Local Community mailing lists, please forward this email. If you have any questions, please reply to this email on-list or contact me directly by email, instant messenger, IRC, or phone. Hope to see you at Bryan's party, -Dave -- David A.
