Thanx Paul. I did think you had made it perfectly clear. I was less<br>
clear about my willingness to participate the organization of SFD this<br>
year.<br>
<br>
Having a venue is the most important part of SFD that's missing. As an<br>
organization even less than "non-profit", but rather "no-money", a<br>
Free-As-In-Gratis venue is important. So, is there anyone on the list<br>
who is able to offer a venue? I'd really like to share with the Linux<br>
Conference, if possible.<br>
<br>
I expect we can scratch up some SFD presentations once a venue is<br>
established. But if Colin is only looking for one more presentation I<br>
can do the "What is Software Freedom" presentation and my best RMS<br>
impression.<br>
