Re: [PLUG] July and August speakers needed!

Thanks, Sam. ÂSo, how would it be if I put you down for a system
monitoring talk at Central for August 8? ÂLet me know if you feel like
taking Bhaskar up on a ride from the train station to the West meeting
location.

Anyone else have an idea for next week's North or the following meeting's
West?
