[sf-perl] Fwd: [BALUG-Announce] Mark Shuttleworth at BALUG 2008-03-25!, and other BALUG News

[Rich Morin]

I realize this falls on top of the normal SFPUG evening,
but I don't get a chance to hear Mark Shuttleworth very
often.  Hmmmm; anyone want to have an SFPUG table at the
dinner?

 Mark Shuttleworth at BALUG 2008-03-25 (note change from usual date)

 NOTE SPECIAL MEETING DATE: 2008-03-25 (no meeting on 2008-03-18)
 For our 2008-03-25 meeting we are proud to present:

 Mark Shuttleworth[1] of Ubuntu[2]/Canonical[3].

 Mark is founder of the Ubuntu Project[2], and also founded
 Thawte[4] (which specialized in digital certificates),
 HBD Venture Capital[5] (invests in early stage South African companies
 with high growth potential) and
 The Shuttleworth Foundation[6] (non-profit organization that accelerates
 social innovation in Africa with a particular focus on education), and
 also formed Canonical[3] (commercial sponsor of Ubuntu, and committed to
 the development, distribution and promotion of open source software
 products, and to providing tools and support to the open source
 community).  In April 2002, Mark also became the
 First African in Space[7], arriving via Soyuz TM-34 to the
 International Space Station and spending several days there, and
 returning via Soyuz TM-33.

 If you intend to come, please RSVP to: rsvp at balug.org
 Why RSVP?  Well, we probably wouldn't turn you away, but the RSVPs
 really help the Four Seas Restaurant plan settings/food/staffing and
 help ensure that we're able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.

 LugRadio Live USA 2008[10] at The Metreon in San Francisco, April 12th &
 13th, 2008

 LugRadio Live USA 2008 brings San Francisco the unique atmosphere of
 LugRadio Live UK, an event that has developed a strong reputation for
 providing a range of topics about free software, Open Source, digital
 rights, technology and more, a compelling list of speakers, exhibitors
 and birds of a feather sessions, and wrapping it all in a unique, fun,
 loose, social and inclusive event, which is often described as
 combining the atmosphere of a rock concert and a computer conference.

 BALUG may also be participating in this - along with other User Groups
 in the area.
