Something to discuss tomorrow night at Filadelfio's!
(not facetious, I think it would be an interesting discussion to have)

I'm planning on being there although with the codecraft meeting on, I 
may arrive nearer to 8:30pm than 7:30pm.

Also, a new RMS interview:

            e.g. Ubuntu.  In reality choice is limited by the options
