Meeting bits and Linux World Canada stuff.

[Colin McGregor]

Just a reminder that there will be a GTALug meeting
tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.

As a noted in the little piece I did for Linux Format
their is a small group of folks (myself included) who
do gather at the "Pho Hung" restaurant at 350 Spadina,
at 6:00 PM before the start of a GTALug meeting.
Anyone interested in discussing Linux over the likes
of spicy pork Vietnamese dishes is welcome to join us.

I was at a Bulk Barn today and picked up handfuls of 5
different candies that look like they MIGHT be good as
give away items for the Linux World Canada show. So, I
will hope to have a little candy tasting tomorrow
evening, asking the question, "What would/would not
work as a booth attractor?"

Below is a slightly revised write-up that Chris
Johnson did before the last Linux World show. Two key
changes, all references to TLUG are now GTALug, and
the addition of a note regarding WestTLUG. Question
is, what changes should be made to make this a great
flier for this year's Linux World show?
