Hello Everyone!

I know this is really early for this mailing, but as we're having a special 
guest speaker, I wanted to give you plenty of notice.  First, the nitty 
gritty:

Location: McMaster University, Hamilton Hall Room 217
When: Wednesday, September 7, 7pm

Our guest speaker that night will be... (drum roll please!)... Ren Bucholz.

http://www.eff.org/about/staff/#ren_bucholz

Ren is the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Policy Coordinator, Americas. 
He is based in Toronto where he works on international policy issues. His 
primary focus is on Canada and South America, but he occasionally finds 
himself in other places as well.

Ren will be speaking about pending Canadian policy fights that the EFF is 
following.  The Canadian equivalent of the USA's Digital Millennium 
Copyright Act DMCA, software patents and other topics pertinent to the 
interests of both open source software users and those interested their 
"digital freedom" will be discussed.

I hope you all can make it, I'm sure it will make for an interesting 
evening.  And don't worry, I'll mail out again closer to the meeting 
(although you should all be running to your calendar now to mark it down! 
: )

Cheers,
Jennifer
