In July 2013, I invited Daniel Mross, organizer of the Pittsburgh Bitcoin 
Users[1] Meetup group, to come to a WPLUG general user meeting and 
talk about Bitcoin. An excerpt from the meeting notes:

"Daniel has flown all over the world to meet with movers and shakers in the 
community, including the people who run Mt. Gox. He’s in the process of 
filming a documentary with his brother called “The Rise and Rise of 
Bitcoin.” Check it out at bitcoindoc.com."
I wasn't present at the meeting, but I was later told that Daniel took the 
occasion to shoot footage for his documentary right there at the meeting!
Now, a little over a year later, The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin is finally ready to 
make its big-screen debut: http://bitcoinboulevard.us/bitcoin-film-premiere-cleveland-heights/[2] 

I'm excited to see that Daniel, a Pittsburgh native, has made such 
progress in spreading the word about Bitcoin. If you aren't interested in 
attending the premiere event Cleveland, I hope you'll at least see it at the 
Southside Works Cinema right here in Pittsburgh. It'll be shown from 
October 3-9.

As WPLUG's chairman of the board, I'd like to congratulate Daniel on a job 
well done.
