Brian Seklecki and Ted Rogers will speak in brief about the process of 
branding and customizing a Linux distribution. The presentation will 
include a demonstration of initial work on a project to brand a LiveCD 
that appeals to the regional academic community. The talk will conclude 
with a town-hall discussion soliciting other ideas on how to attract 
greater attendance from the academic community. Suggestions for giving out 
free beer will not be considered unless you're referring to 'free' as in 
'free speech', not as in 'free beer'.
