[wplug] Reminder: meet Gittip founder this Saturday

[Justin Smith]

Good evening, everyone! Well, on a night like this, I suppose it's only good if you've got 
your heater cranked up as high as it'll go. 

I wanted to remind you all that this Saturday, WPLUG will be hosting an event with 
none other than Chad Whitacre, the founder of Gittip. As WPLUG Vice Chair Vance 
wrote late in December:

Even though the open source community is run by a worldwide team of volunteers, 
there are still far more everyday users than programmers. "How can I contribute?" 
they often ask. Join us at the Wilkins School Community Center at 2:00 to find out you 
can get involved and what sort of differences even small donations through Gittip can 
make.

We'll be following up this event with a social gathering in February where WPLUG will 
actually get involved with a community project. Got ideas for what we should do? Be 
sure to show up and tell us!
