Hi everyone, Despite my level of political involvement outside of LUV, I normally shy from such discussions/invitations here to avoid suggestions of partisanship etc.. But in this particular case I do want to send out a general invite to readers of LUV-talk and friends because - from some experience - Linux users do seem to be a little more interested in politics and even US politics than average. The other matter is that the speaker, Dean, is a good friend of mine who is wise beyond his years and will give, I am sure, a very insightful and interesting presentation! Let me know (off-list) if you're able to attend. - - - - The 2012 US Presidential Election "Prospects for Obama's Democrats, Dangers of Romney's Republicans" Guest Speaker: Dean Edwards, Vice Chair of the National Executive Committee and the local coordinator for the Victorian Chapter of Democrats Abroad Plus: The acclaimed HBO Documentary "By The People: The Election of Barak Obama" (2009) Sunday, October 7th, 6.30pm $10/$5, proceeds to the Kooyong ALP FEA for the 2013 Federal Election Back meeting room, Glenferrie Hotel, 324 Burwood Road Hawthorn (near the corner of Glenferrie and Burwood, about 2 minutes from Glenferrie station) It's also cheap pizza night at the hotel! - - - All the best, -- Lev Lafayette, mobile: 0432 255 208 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt
