Open Source Software Chicago

I wanted pass along a personal invitation, I hope that you will be able 
to
attend.   JT Smith, Director of Technology for WDI (A Division of
Brunswick),  will be reviewing Open Source Software and the impact it 
can
have in today's business.  There are so many different applications out
there that are Open Source (no cost) that can help all of us in today's
economy.  We figured the best way to accomplish this is to collaborate 
with
other businesses that are using open source or have the same general
interest in Open Source.  Meetings will be held Bi-Monthly with 
different
featured speakers.  More information can be found on the website:
http://www.OSSChicago.com .  If you don't feel that this pertains to 
you I
am sorry for any inconvenience and would ask that you pass it along to 
your
Information Technology department for review.

Thank you for your time.  If you have any questions at all please feel 
free
to email me or call.

Best Regards,
Tiffany Patterson
