[San-Diego-pm] August Meeting!

[Chris Radcliff]

I was about to jump in and offer my support and assistance, but then  
I noticed something at the official site:

FOSSCON is September 6th and 7th, 2008 in Sunny San Diego, California!
UPDATE: FOSSCON has been moved back by almost a full year...

...so it sounds like we have some time. :) That said, I'd be happy to  
help out with a SD.pm booth. I might even be able to arrange some  
Eventful sponsorship for things like shirts and banner.

BTW, I submitted the FOSSCON event (with the new time) to Eventful  
and Upcoming:
