Change: Books for Iraq get-together

CHANGE: Get together still starts at 7PM. Movie time has changed to
10PM, so don't show at midnight, we'll be closing up by that time.

NOTES: We cannot send Linux Distros due to crypto restrictions.
Please do not bring Linux Distributions.  If you would like to bring
food or drink to the party, the more the merrier.  Thanks.

The LUG of Iraq is establishing a Linux Center in Baghdad to conduct
training in all levels of Linux usage, administration and development.

Today in Baghdad, up-to-date PC hardware and all kinds of software are
readily available, but computer books are hard to get. The LUG needs
all computer books, not just the Linux-specific ones.
