Hi Freedom Lovers, This month we have a special guest, Andrea Casillas, Director of the Open Invention Network's Linux Defenders Program. Andrea is visiting from North Carolina and will be discussing her work preventing and educating about software patents. Our own Les Kitchen will be talking about how he came to love free software. As always, there will be lots of Gnews, followed by dinner at nearby Big Mamas Korean restaurant. Look forward to seeing you on Thursday!
