[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 10th November 2003

[Jim Jackson]

Greetings All,

I hope everyone's ears have recovered from the song at the end of the film
last month!

This month's meeting has a business slant to it, with Cliff Brereton from
IBM's Linux Impact Team speaking on "Linux in Business: Where are we
now?". So if you have contacts/colleagues/managers that have some interest
in Linux and want to get IBM's take on it's use in business at the moment,
them please let them know about the meeting.

We also have James Holden talking about "Selling The Idea." - how to get
people using linux. This is the talk James would have given in Sept. if he
hadn't got ill.

So don your suits (metaphorical or otherwise) and join us next Monday.

cheers
Jim
