Marcel Gagne's visit to Saskatoon

re: Marcel Gagne lecture in Saskatoon

Hello slg,

Just wondering if this lecture has been finalized. Also wondering
specifics on date, time and location and if this has been organized.

Hello,

As webmaster of sasklinux I have received the following message of
interest to the Saskatoon Linux Community. If anyone has a suggestion
for a venue for Mr. Cutler please email him directly at
<Jeffrey.Cutler@lightsource.ca>. Here is the message he with his
request:

|To Whom It May Concern:
|
|My name is Jeff Cutler and I work at the CLS. I have been given an
|opportunity to have Marcel Gagne speak on various Linux issues. He is
|becoming acknowledged as one of the world experts on Linux. He has a
|monthly column in Linux Journal entitled "Cooking with Linux" and has
|authored two books on Linux. The first is entitled "Linux System
|Administrator" and the second is "Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen
|of Death Goodbye". He is planning a visit to Saskatoon near the end of
|September. Can you suggest a possible venue for a presentation? Any
|input would be greatly appreciated and if you want to gather more
|information on Marcel please see his website at
|
|www.salmar.com/marcel

|Thanks,
|
|Jeff Cutler
