Has anybody read this? :(
If there are no objections can somebody volunteer to help discuss the LRP?
I haven't worked enough with it to understand it.
I've got a few more interesting topic ideas for the next few meetings

Also... I need input about Linux in the Enterprise topic. Or somebody can
come up with a better one. I REALLY want to get the annoucement out by
tomorrow.
