Re: Final A.I Winter Event - Support vector machines and T-shirts! (03/21/2013 6:30pm)


Good news everyone! Chariot Solutions saved my pocket book and
sponsored $250 of our t-shirts.

Two of you have already paid the $25 for t-shirts, and I am glad to
refund you, but I am still paying for some of the cost out of pocket,
and donations are VERY welcome at
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=55WLDWB265FH8

So, if you show up Thursday, you will get a t-shirt, although we might
run out. I will make sure to reserve t-shirts for those who donate and
those that have come to A.I. Winter all six times.

See you for SVMs and our final last hooray Thursday night.

Yours,
Trevor
