[SGVLUG] Presentation

[Claude Felizardo]

I've submitted the event to the Caltech Calendar.  If anything changes
please let me know.  Should be published in the next few days.

BTW, Tom, on the SGVLUG web site it looks like the date of the event
is Tuesday, 16 March 2010 but the Google Calendar does show Oct 14.
