Leider gibts einige Probleme mitr dem Latina, deshalb haben wir kurzfristig umdisponiert in das "China-Town" am Neumarkt. Das ist beim Latina fast umn die Ecke. Da war schonmal Monger-Treffen, sollte also einigen bekannt sein. > Mehr Informationen und Wegbeschreibung unter > http://www.lug-kr.de/cgi-bin/lugwiki.pl?ExternesTreffen Die Wegbeschreibung ist angepasst. > Ich wollte den neuen O'Reilly mitbringen, habe aber leider einen > geschäftlichen Termin an dem Abend.

Jedenfalls nicht, solange nicht ein anderer "Hier!" schreit. Oder wir führen wieder den Pumpkin(g) ein, der so ein unrühmliches Ende genommen hat?!? Aber da sollten wir am Montag drüber diskutieren. > Liebe Gruesse, > > Regina Thomas ___________________________ Abmelden: Mail an majordomo@hfb.pm.org mit dem Text: unsubscribe niederrhein-pm
