[PLUG] [plug-announce] Tue Feb 11 - PLUG North - "Remedial Math for Programmers" by Walt Mankowski (7pm at CoreDial)

[Walt Mankowski via plug-announce via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

Just a reminder that I'll be doing tonight's talk at PLUG North. If
you saw the talk at FOSSCON this will be pretty much the same, but
there will one new thing about mod that I just learned in the past few
weeks.
