John,

I suppose WPLUG can announce your talk for this month then? Could you
put up a bio of yourself on the wplug wiki?  Give a little background on
yourself and you interests in Gnu/Linux.  We can then link to that in
the announcement. Looks great John.  Can't wait the see the rest.

Regards,

Terry Golightly
