Per the email string below, Andrew Morton needs to reschedule. We have 2
options:
1) push the BALUG meeting back one week
2) find another speaker and reschedule with Andrew Morton for later in the
year
Regarding #2, I sent an email to Jeremy Alison this morning to see if he
could stand in on short notice. However, I have no idea if this is
possible or not. A presentation by Untangle's CTO is always a possiblity,
but I don't want to force that on the group.
Please let me know what you think ASAP.

Thanks, sorry about that.
Either the preceding week or the following one would be fine. It's just
the 14th to the 22nd which is the problem.
