This message probably should not have been approved for the BALUG "announce"
list:
http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2007-October/000093.html
The evidence would seem to indicate it got "approved" (perhaps someone
accidentally clicked the wrong item or thought it was for a different list),
though it's not impossible that it may have been passed/approved through some
header forging or the like.

The message would have been okay for "talk" (that's a relatively open forum,
though it could still do without all the attachments).

"announce", however should be quite low volume (like 1 to 3 messages per month)
and quite topical to BALUG (not a catch-all for any and/or everything LINUX,
OpenSource, etc., that anyone and/or everyone may care to announce).

If there are non-BALUG events of note that we want to mention on "announce",
it's probably most suitable to include a short mention and reference to such
along with one of our regular mailings to "announce" ... if at all.
