[FredLUG] Re: SFD2010 Flyer

[Mark Walker]

Ted, one more *tiny* little thing that's perhaps a little picky:  I'd
suggest adding a comma after "work" so the text would read "... people
who use FOSS at home and work, and take home a CD ..." Another
approach might be to write it as "home & work and take home"

In any case, this sure tells "what's in it for me," including apps and
not just Linux or any other FOSS OS.  My vote is go with it.

Great job, Ted!
