Sounds like an interesting meeting.
However, anyone wanting to attend will have to do some negotiation with their Significant Other, since this is Valentine's day. (It would feed into the stereotype to suggest that TLUG members don't *have* SO's, but I'm sure that's not the case ;).
Anyway, I checked with my SO and she's willing to attend, so the date is not a major problem for me. But it might be for others...

# Linux and UN Refugee Agency Longtime GTALUG member and open source advocate Evan Leibovitch Has just returned from a two-year contract heading the Community Technology Access program of the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR). In this presentation Evan will discuss some of the challenges encountered in providing Internet connectivity and services to some of the world's most impoverished populations. Special emphasis will be given to the role of FOSS-based solutions and collaborative techniques in this unique realm of both technical and political problem-solving. Q&A to follow.
Hi,
I'm not a GTALUG member, but I've been lurking on this list for a few weeks now. This talk is something that I would be very interested in seeing.
Unfortunately, I live in Montreal. Do you video your presentations? If this were made available online, I would definitely take the time to watch it.
Thanks,
