Copying "balug-admin" in on this message.
It doesn't look like this event has any Linux or F/OSS content so I would not be in favor of BALUG announcing or endorsing the event.

Importance: High
Jim;
I'm hosting a meeting with recruiters and the Small Business Administration (www.sba.org) for next Tuesday - June 17th.
Evite URL: http://www.evite.com/app/publicUrl/CWWBHDBITKJETMBMOIQE/sba
I would like for you to attend this meeting - so that we can chat about perhaps having a similar meeting with the Linux LUG Heads in about 30-60 days. Folks can learn about getting small business loans - and actually talk with a lender (no matter what the credit score) - and could be instrumental in helping some folks out !!!
I know that the BALUG meeting is the 3rd Tuesday of the month -any chance we could join these two meetings together... Or have one on the first floor - the other event on the 2nd... Having both groups meet up with the SBA before head... (just a thought !)
This can be VERY helpful information to independent contractors - and people who might to entertain starting a small business - providing Linux tech support, sales, etc.
Give me a call = and we can discuss.
I am also DESPERATELY trying to find a candidate for this SENIOR LINUX SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR (see job description)... Any attention to you can get this position - would certainly be GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
Hope to see you at this SBA meeting - and lets start making plans for one with the SBA and the local Linux Groups - sometime in the VERY near future.
It's all about "community!" - especially during these very difficult economic times. !!
Keep in touch - and I'll do the same. Danny!

lugradio is putting on an event:
As you may or may not be aware, the very first LugRadio Live USA in 2008 is taking place at The Metreon in San Francisco. The event will be happening on the 12th and 13th April 2008... LugRadio Live has developed a strong reputation for providing a range of topics about free software, Open Source, digital rights, technology and more, a compelling list of speakers, exhibitors and birds of a feather sessions... Exhibitor space is free; we don't charge, because LugRadio Live is a community event.... You can check who is speaking and how the event is shaping up by checking http://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/
