[BALUG-Admin] Can You Help Publicize the Shuttleworth Event?

[Andrew Fife]

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:

websites

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.
