Linux b-day, was Re: FTP Security

[Carl Parrish]

Okay I'm talking to industry to find out if they want to help sponsor 
our Linux B-day event (have we decided if its a one or two day event 
yet?). Only problem is I don't know what date to tell them. Have we 
decided on a date yet? If not can we get on this quickly I have a few 
ppl interested but I need more info to tell them.
