I guess TX needs him more. Either that, or he checked the local weather. :)
Guess we should all just switch to windows now. :(

Lipscomb University has offered to host and fund the event! I will keep you all updated on developments. -nate On Jan 29, 9:07 pm, Andrew Farnsworth farn...@gmail.com wrote: Nate wrote: Hi: You may remember last fall when I contacted you all about Richard Stallman speaking in Nashville.

Would any of you have any suggestions on funding the event and possible venues? We're back to square one and the date is a couple of months away. Thanks for your time!

Are we talking $300 or $3000 ? Other than expenses, is there a fee we need to pay? We could use this for a membership drive for NLUG so it is definitely worth while.

What exactly was he going to speak on, and what are the costs to get him in Nashville? -S On Jan 29, 3:31 pm, Nate natethewri...@gmail.com wrote: Hi: You may remember last fall when I contacted you all about Richard Stallman speaking in Nashville.
