> Hello Tillugers,
> 
> The federal government has just tabled Bill C-61, a bill to amend the
> Copyright Act.  The impact of this bill on the work of the Open Source
> community and, frankly, everyone else will be huge.  
> 
> In light of this, the Tillsonburg Linux Users Group is pleased to
> present Professor Sam Trosow of the University of Western Ontario who
> has been invited to come and speak to our community about copyright
> and the bill.  Professor Trosow is an international expert on
> copyright law and the author of "Canadian Copyright: A Citizen's
> Guide."  You can learn more about him at his website at
> www.samtrosow.ca .  We are very privileged to have him as our guest at
> this time.
> 
> This is another Tillug Special Event so we have booked the main
> gallery at the Station Arts Centre for Wednesday, July 16th at 7 p.m.
>  Please let us know if you plan on attending.  We need a head count
> because the gallery can hold 75 people and we may need a bigger venue.
>  We would like this to become an all-Tillsonburg event so that as many
> people as possible become aware of what this bill entails.  Please
> spread the word and send me an email if you or someone you know is
> planning on attending.  
> 
> Tillug would like to thank Sean Hurley of the Vienna Cafe
> (www.theviennacafe.ca) for lining this up.  Thanks also to Joe McGuire
> of Tinfoil Music (www.tinfoilmusic.net) for helping to sponsor the event.
