[sf-lug] Fwd: [Fwd: LugRadio Live USA 2008 Exhibition]

[jim stockford]

best i can tell, we're a loose and friendly group.
anything you want to bring that promotes more
or less linux, Gnu, F/OSS, other lugs and related
interest groups, Canonical..., all seems to be
welcome.

i got answers to my questions. not good answers,
but proof that they're alive and awake. main
remaining question is how do we get in for free?
i'm pestering them.
