Hey guys:
Can any of you help promote the Mark Shuttleworth event? Michael Paoli and I have the LUG mailing lists covered. However, if you know of any good forums to post the event in it would be great if you could help get the word out... but please use good judgment to not spam forums.
There is list of forums that have already been covered for Shuttleworth's talk listed here:

but if you know of any others please feel free to use the formatted text below if you like it, but please preview the formatting before posting because each forum has slightly different structure.
