[LUAU] FW: Want a visit 27 May or thenabouts?

[Chris Wong]

John... get a good mail client. This one is killing me. I have no idea
WHAT it thinks a line is???? *sigh* Makes your messages quite difficult
for me to read... dunno 'bout anybody else. Which reminds me to take a
look at Mutt as a mail reader.

THis still stands. His Japan trip is still in the air so we really don't
have a clear time when he'll be a) flying in. b) leaving.
If it's just a day layover, then by all means.. the 27th. But if he's
flying in at 7 or 8 or later, then it'll have to be the 28th. Plus I still
have to take him around the island or something.

nod. We dont' have a date/time/place yet. Once that gets in, by all
means..... His Japan trip is, as I said, not finished yet.

Which still holds true. On the meeting next week, I'm going to ask for
people to sign up. Please sign up, this is the only thing that is standing
in between us and obscurity.

Either that, or I'm going to do it and you all have to suffer through my
taste. <BLINK>SUFFFFER!~</BLINK>

Real quick: If I have time tomorrow I'll see if I can compile or copy a
Biography of ESR to the list. But I"ll just leave it like this. There are
4 names that come to mind when mentioning Open Source Software.
Richard M Stallman
Linus Torvalds
Bruce Perens
Eric S Raymond

(Dunno if you know Bruce... him and ESR are having a falling out... not
too sure on the details, I will have to check later.)

He is an advocate of Open Source Software... but concentrating more on
advocacy in a business sense and as a business model.

With that, I'll leave.
