&gt; Hello Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts,
&gt; 
&gt; I am driving a project that could lead to Local Governments creating an 
&gt; Open Source Repository of Shared application software, or simply the 
&gt; Repository.  If we succeed, the impact could be significant for Local 
&gt; Governments in the US and beyond and equally significant for Open Source 
&gt; as a means of creating enterprise business mission critical 
&gt; applications.  It could mean that many Open Source and Linux enthusiasts 
&gt; like you could benefit from an additional source of income as you guide 
&gt; and assist municipalities in the transition.
&gt; 
&gt; I will be in Atlanta during March 10 through 12 and would like to meet 
&gt; with those on this distribution list who see value in the proposal.  
&gt; Unfortunately this falls on the off Thursday for both ALE NE and NW.  I 
&gt; thought maybe a smaller group could meet on Thursday, March 11.
&gt; 
&gt; Bellow are two recent press releases on the subject, one in O'Reilly and 
&gt; the other with Linux World Magazine's Radio.

&gt; Newport News, Virginia is part of the Tidewater area or Hampton Roads.  
&gt; Virginia Beach and Norfolk are better known jurisdictions in our 
&gt; metropolitan area.
&gt; 
&gt; The Mayor of the City of Newport News will be with me as well.  I am not 
&gt; sure if he will want to attend a discussion with a very technical group, 
&gt; but I believe we have a fairly good chance to get him there.  We could 
&gt; benefit both your local government as well as your income since it is 
&gt; possible that this may result in a need being generated in your area of 
&gt; expertise.
&gt; 
&gt; Let me know if you are interested and I hope I will have a chance to 
&gt; meet some of you in March.
