[Fedora-music-list] Late Introduction

[David Burney]

Uzoma,

Greg DeK and I were meeting today and your email spawned an idea-- its 
time for those of us interested within Red Hat to hold an internal 
opensourceapalooza of some sort. Greg says he'll take the lead. Our team 
will gladly facilitate.
