Alex,

I will be back and hope to join you on this important occassion. I won't mind sharing on Education Related issues and gaps urgently requiring solutions. I definately know there is adequate and necessary capacity locally to meet this demand.

Kind regards

B. K. Sang

Dear PS,

Thanks. We will be meeting at Jaracanda (Pizza Garden side) Hotel on
November 7, 2009 (10am to 1 pm).

Ms. Esther will give you feedback so that you can join us at our next
quarterly meeting in February 2010.

Those who show up early on November 7, 2009 may get to watch an
interesting (technical) video or two between (9am and 10am).

Alex will not be joining us but other FOSS proponents are most welcome
to join in our discussions.

Over to Conrad!
