>To Whom It May Concern,

>The Linux Users' Group of Davis is pleased to announce that we will be
>participating in this year's Government Technology Conference: "GTC 
>West 2003."
>
>Our organization, one of three in the Sacramento area, is a 
>non-profit computer
>user group focused around the Linux computer operating system and the
>Open Source software movement.
>
>LUGOD is a 501(c)7 non-profit which formed in January 1999, and has attracted
>a large and diverse membership.  Our interests range from physics and
>bioinformatics, to databases and telecommunication, to computer video games
>and poetry.
>
>Volunteers from our group will be staffing a booth at the Conference, which
>takes place from May 14th through May 16th at the Sacramento 
>Convention Center,
>1400 J Street in Sacramento.
>
>If you, or someone from your department, will be attending this event, I
>encourage you to come by our booth to learn more about the benefits of
>Open Source software.  We will be demonstrating Linux on various computers,
>as well as answering visitors' questions.
>
>We'll also be passing out free software CDROMs, including copies of "Knoppix,"
>a no-commitment version of the Linux operating system that runs directly off
>the CD, without installing itself on the hard disk.
>
>If you cannot make it, please feel free to join us at one of our regular
>meetings.  They take place at the Davis Library, 315 East 14th Street in
>Davis on the first Tuesday and third Monday of each month.
>
>Some of our past guest speakers have included Oracle, Netscape Communications,
>Linux Journal Magazine, Hewlett-Packard, Borland Software, Cisco Systems, and
>Lawrence Berkeley Labs.  Our upcoming meetings will welcome guests from
>IBM Corp., Zultys Technology, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
