Thanks for this George - only thing is that the event is called *'Linux
Presentation Day*' it's not a SFD event. I've changed the website post
title to reflect this, can you edit and tweak the facebook one please?

Thanks again for doing this - looks great and its a start to the promo of
the event.

Julian
