March topic(s) for BLU

[mattboston at gmail.com (Matt Shields)]

Martin,
To Americans day/month sounds backwords, when we're talking about
dates we say March 21st.  If you write that out it would be 3/21/2007.
 But if you're not in the US, does it really matter?  Do you plan on
coming here for that meeting?  I understand there are lots of people
not in the Boston area on this list because it's a good list for the
Linux community, but why do you care that the meeting is on 3/21 or
21/3?  If I were to join a UK mailing list I wouldn't demand that they
follow US date standards.

Matt
