re tonight's meeting

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

The Usenix Tech conference is in Boston from June 27 - July 2, 2004. If
anyone gets this before tonight's meeting, please make sure it gets
announced. My teaching assignment is preventing me from attending the
meeting. 


1) Maddog's trying to organize a "Super-LUG" meeting at the conference, 

and we're scrambling to schedule it: but would BLU be interested in  
being part of this?

2) Please note that we've got special user group pricing:  if five  
people register together from any organization they get $100 off each  
registration, regardless of the number of days each person registers  
for.

Once again, could you please mention the conference at the BLU Meeting  
tomorrow night (Wednesday, May 19?)  The email conference announcement  
is repeated below.  Or let me know if I'm being harassing.

Many thanks, -Peter
