Hello,

We'll be at the SharePoint Conference 2012 November 12-15 in Las Vegas. If
you're attending the event, drop by and say hi. Microsoft Press and O'Reilly
will both be displaying books and hosting author signings throughout the
show. Here's an excellent SPC12 Survival and Readiness Guide from @SPHotShot.

make a successful application, you need at least a Chair (person in overall

(aka, the Plumbing of Linux). This includes the kernel, the desktop, system
