Email to Linux User Groups:
Hello fellow Linux Enthusiasts,
My name is Henry McBride and I am emailing you on the behalf of the Alabama LUG Fest (ALF) 2007 Planning Committee, hosted by Birmingham Area Linux Users (BALU). ALF understands how people feel when strangers e-mail mailing lists and advertise something that maybe the list feels isn't appropriate, so we are mailing the list coordinators to ask if they will be kind enough to pass along the message to the mailing list if they feel this is appropriate.
Thanks for your time and assistance,
Henry

Come Join The Fourth Alabama LUG Fest!
A few years ago, various LUGs around Alabama decided that with the departure of Atlanta Linux Showcase, we should come together and have a day of festivities. We really didn't know what to expect. But the turn out and activities helped create several successful Alabama LUG Fests. We hope to continue the same success this year and spread the fun to even more people who are interested in having fun with other persons interested in the same topics.
The LUG Fest will be held in Birmingham, Alabama this year at the UAB Worrell Building on Friday, Feburary 6th, 2004 and at the UAB Margaret Cameron Spain Auditorium on Saturday, Feburary 7th, 2004. We hope you can attend and join us in having a great time. Activities for this year include:
- LUG Warz - A trivia-style geek game where we pit various LUGs (and sometimes just complete strangers who have formed a team!) against each other in a true test of Geekdom. Finally, reading all those Slashdot stories, watching every episode of Star Trek, and reading the Linux Kernel code comments will come in handy! Win some neat prizes and have a blast seeing who truely is the geekier LUG!
- A hardware swap for those who want to get rid of that junky i486 or that Commodore 64 that you never seem to have time to tinker with. Buy, sell, trade. Anything goes so long as it doesn't smell bad and it isn't totally encrusted with dust. Be sure to bring some extra cash, or make some extra cash selling those parts you never use.
- Come hear Jerry Carter give his LinuxWorld speech! Didn't make it to New York? Want to ask him some questions? Mr. Carter will be talking about Samba's current development and it's future development.
- Other speakers and presentations include but not limited to: Wesley Duffee-Braun of LPI, Anthony Skjellum creator of MPI, best hardware at the show, worst desktop, some LAN gaming on Linux. And if we still haven't convinced you to come there will be free Krispy Kreme donuts and coffee and door prizes. Free swag! You can't pass that up.
Unfortunately, there is a $10 registration fee. We hate to do it. We wish we didn't have to. But, we do. Gotta pay for the conference space somehow. Registration has begun via PayPal! Register early! And hurry up! Early registration ends January 15th. After that the price is $12.00 which covers the cost of the super cool badges everyone gets! So register now and get your badges for free!! Also you can register at the door for $15.00. Register now to reserve your spot at http://www.alabamalugfest.org .
