Re: Linux KB: Open Invitation IRC Chat

That's ok Mike.  While it would be nice to talk about more documentation
things, I'm more worried about actual site development at this time.  It
sounds like we might be able to work out a deal with SEUL to share a booth
at the Linux conference in Toronto in March of next year.  It would be
nice to show off our site and what we can do there.

Anyways, I hope everyone else will be able to make it- if only for a short
time to get to know everyone.
