["Michael C. Toren" <mct@toren.net>]

Dana, from the public relations firm RF Binder, send us an email, saying:

> I am writing to see if the Philadelphia Area Linux User Group would be
> interested in having Ken VanDine, leader of the Foresight Linux project,
> come to speak at one of your upcoming meetings or events. 
> 
> In case you aren't familiar with Ken or his work, Foresight is an
> advanced Linux distribution focused on delivering an outstanding user
> experience and being as user-friendly as possible, yet powerful enough
> for advanced users.  It is built using the latest GNOME desktop
> technology, and package management system Conary
> (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conary_%28package_manager%29).  Also,
> Foresight is assembled by a distributed project team using the rBuilder
> Online and rMake build service from rPath.  For additional reference,
> here's a pretty informative story eWEEK recently ran on Foresight
> --http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2090294,00.asp 
> 
> If you're interested, Ken would be able to share insight and personal
> anecdotes from his work at both Foresight and rPath, as well as discuss
> some of the value behind using a software appliance delivery model for
> Linux-based applications.  Please let me know if you and your colleagues
> are interested in having Ken come and speak, or if you would like any
> additional information on him or Foresight.  We are also willing to
> provide a level of sponsorship for the meeting/event (pizza, etc.) or
> content for your newsletters.  I look forward to hearing from you.
> Thanks for your time and consideration.

Is anyone interested in hearing Ken speak at PLUG?

Thanks,
