[kwlug-disc] Private Internet Access goes Open Source

[Mikalai Birukou]

Besides PIA swag, I'll bring JMP.chat's swag. Denver Gingerich from 
Toronto had an exhibition at LibrePlanet, and he will provide swag for 
May's session to compliment PIA's.

I actually switched our 3NSoft phone number from FreedomBox (under 
GoDaddy now) to JMP.

On a side, I think the meat of April's talk transcript, might be useful 
to Denver.

Cheers,

Mikalai
