“The Suncoast Linux Users Group aka S.L.U.G. needs your help. We
have been invited to do another show at the Computer and
Technologies Showcase in Tampa, Florida on October 17th and 18th.
We have had great success in the past at the shows. However, due to
many Linux-based businesses having to cut back on LUG support
because of the market, we have not been too successful in getting
enough promo items and speakers for this show. With Limited
supplies of promo items it will last just for a few hours.

If anyone can help out with supplying promo Items such as Open
Download distro copies of RedHat , Mandrake , Turbo,Slackware,
Debian, Progeny, etc,. stickers, hats, misc, it would help to make
a great show.

This also could be a good time for our Lugs to pull together and
form a Alliance. Perhaps we could call it the Florida Linux
Alliance or F.L.A. for short?”
