[SWLUG] [Fwd: Re: [gnu.org #862289] GNU 30th birthday celebration]

[Hugh Mayfield]

Hi all,

As can be seen from the message below, responding to one in which I
asked if the FSF had any objections to our holding a GNU 30th birthday
celebration at this late stage, the FSF are on board.  Hurrah!

I'll start getting the ball rolling.

Regards,

Hugh
