Hi Guys

Could you let me know when and where the December meeting will be held if
any, I would like to introduce our new project of LPI Training help and
increase certification in Linux and Open source in Zimbabwe. By the way
Zimabwe is the highest desktop linux user Country in Africa and probably
5th in the world. So certification is key for system administrators. Ubuntu
is the my desktop of Choice but Obvious the choice is yours. Our Company is
found on www.taznet.co.zw I would greatly appreciate meeting the team face
to face for the first time.

Regards

Trust
