[kwlug-disc] Private Internet Access goes Open Source

[Mikalai Birukou]

I got it. It is PIA's swag specifically for KWLUG. For some reason, 
there was no exhibition table for PIA. So, I got stuff by talking 
directly to rep over the beer :) -- have no questions, just need swag 
for the LUG.

I won't be in town on the first week of April. I am sure, you'll excuse 
me, if I deliver swag on May session.

Cheers,

Mikalai
