[SGVLUG] SGVLUG Meeting this Tonight: The Internet-in-a-Box Project

[Braddock]

Hi folks,

In addition to my presentation and demo of the Internet-in-a-box 
tonight, there will be a couple One Laptop Per Child volunteers 
attending.  They are bringing an array of various models of OLPC laptops 
to test with, so if you are interested in OLPC or playing with their 
hardware, come to the meeting.

See you all tonight!
