We're cooking up a multi-group Mixer

[Karlie Robinson]

Good morning everyone!

I'm excited to say that Greg DeKoenigsberg and Luke Macken (bios below) are firming up plans to be in Rochester October 25-27. 

Greg and Luke will be here to see first hand how RIT, the local and wider community are coming together to teach open source at RIT. 

While they're in town, the OLPC steering committee (for lack of a better term) would like to host an informal joint meeting with LUGs of Rochester and WNY, OLPC Rochester, RIT Computer Science House and possibly others. 

Please leave the afternoon and evening of Sunday October 25 and the evening of October 25 open for this possible get-together. 

The format and location are still being arranged (We're leaning towards the new Innovations Center at RIT because it's an absolutely wonderful space) and I'll update the lists as soon as we have more details.  If you have input or ideas about the time/place/format, please email them to me. 

Thanks,
Karlie
