This month, PLUG Central welcomes back Eric S. Raymond, who last
spoke at PLUG almost 15 years ago, in November, 1997.  Eric
is well-known for his contributions to the FOSS community over the
years.  He co-founded the Open Source Initiative in 1998 and has
written two books, _The Cathedral and the Bazaar_ and _The Art of
Unix Programming_.  He also has acted as a public contact for NedaNet, a
hacktivist website supporting Iranian dissidents.

The meeting will take place on Wednesday, September 5, from 7-9pm
at

  University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP)
  Griffith Hall C
  600 South 43rd Street
  Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495

USP is located in University City.  Driving directions are
available at http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/usp.html, or
http://www.usip.edu/directions, both of which have an aerial
view of the campus buildings.  USP is also easily accessible by
public transportation.

There will be an open Question & Answer session at 7PM, prior to
the main presentation at 8PM.  This is an open meeting; all are
welcome and encouraged to attend.

Usually, a number of members get together after the meeting at a
nearby restaurant for food and perhaps a beer or two.  Come join
the camaraderie!
