[wplug] Help with planning of YOUTH Technology Summit

Hi Don and others,

The invite for planning meetings.

We're not to the stages, yet, of giving out CDs. We do need planning on how
to establish events (big and smaller ones) where giving out CDs is a prime
concern, for sure.

Will do, but I hope the mentions come from others, long-term WPLUGers, as
well.

Thanks for the kind offer.
