Dear Friends,
Please talk with your self, friend, boss about SFS Linux Camp. Early Regist=
ration ends next Friday.
We have 8 bunks wide open, 4 or maybe 6 sorta kinda reserved, and 2 taken, =
at present. This makes your humble servant freak out a little, because real=
life has taught him that most of the people that are going to sign up, sig=
n up during the early registration phase and they take the "super saver" bu=
ndle.
Do you want to help fill the bunks? Put an ad on Craigslist, Facebook, Goog=
le+, LinkedIn, or whatever you like best, and claim some thank you treasure=
for being a Linux Camp (Daddy|Mama).
If you'd been planning to come this year, or to promote it, but you changed=
your mind, won't you please send me a private email letting me know why? I=
'm doing my best over here, and when I make mistakes, I am grateful for my =
friends that make me aware of them.
