Dear LUGOD leader,

My name is Kate Breen and I'm the marketing coordinator for SHARE
<http://www.share.org/> , the premier user-run organization for
enterprise-class computing professionals.  I'm writing you today to inform
you about a great opportunity for your members to obtain Linux training in
your area this October and a program where you can use and distribute free
training vouchers for you or your members if you choose to support us in
this effort.

Please read on if you are interested in this special Linux training
opportunity from SHARE.

About SHARE:
SHARE is a user community of more than 2,000 member companies with 20,000
individual contacts whose leadership and organizational structure is made-up
of hundreds of volunteer user-experts.  Inside SHARE, there are a number of
"Projects and Programs" that concentrate on issues, news and collaboration
for several IT disciplines and IBM products.  Linux & VM
<http://www.share.org/share/website/shareweb.nsf/1d99cd65f2badf1e86256b78006ccb15/7f7a788d6ace53a286256b880006c88c?OpenDocument>  is one of those
Projects.  We also host two annual user conferences
<http://w3.share.org/ca/2003/longbeach/>  featuring more than 160 Linux
technical sessions and a number of regional events
<http://www.share.org/regional_seminar/linux>  that offer Linux training and
education presented by users as well as IBM.  In fact, there are two Linux
seminars being offered in California next month.  

The topical affinity between LUGOD and SHARE is very strong. SHARE is
serious about Linux and recognizes the important role LUGOD plays in the
Linux user community as a local user group. Participation in the SHARE Linux
Training Seminars will be a great opportunity for you to network and reach
out to new Linux users. Let's work together to bring quality Linux education
to users in your area.

this October. Mark Post of EDS will be presenting two-day interactive
