[activities] Re: [SLUG-ANNOUNCE] July SLUG meeting - Friday July 31, 2009

Dear Slug

I missed the last meeting due to being lossed on the way to the Venue. I would have loved to have heard on SE linux. Is there any notes/resources that were used. 

Also I will be attending this next meeting. 

Regards
