      Calling an informal IBM Lunch & Learn!

Based on a recent post 
<http://www.trilug.org/pipermail/trilug/Week-of-Mon-20070205/046388.html> 
to the TriLUG mailing list <http://www.trilug.org/listinfo/trilug>, it 
was suggested that an informal TriLUG lunch be held while an 
"out-of-stater" was in town. This sparked the idea of having a small 
tour of the main IBM facilities and such uses of linux in 
DeveloperWorks. Hence the Tour below.


      Summary

    * *When:*: Wednesday, 28/February/2007 @ 12:00pm-1:30pm?
    * *Where*: http://www.ibm.com/ off Davis Dr. in RTP
