Hi all,

have resubscribed using a new mail to free up my gmail from mailing lists.

we have moved to topeka and am now working on linux systems at payless here. In my free time I am working on promoting open source software and open knowlege. We dont have a car by choice, so my transportation is limited to public transportation which is almost non existent here in topeka, there is only one train to KC at 5am in the morning.

There are many user groups in KC like java user groups and groups in lawrence, but it is very hard to find people to go there with me who have cars.

have been attending the http://www.adastralabs.org/ meetings on thursday and we discussed there the options of making bigger events.

So, we would like invite speakers from the list to come to topeka to hold talks and workshops, is possible we would create an event here at the library, university or at some office (like pc911), Ideally we would have 2-3 advance notice and would promote the event locally.

For travel expenses we will have to discuss this topic, we will look at fundraising to cover travel costs.

Please let me know if you would like to come to topeka at this mail or jamesmikedupont@gmail.com you can call call me on my mobile 908 347 4117

thanks

mike
