[TriLUG] OT: Seeking Operations-Savvy Techno-Nerds for User-Testing

[OlsonE at aosa.army.mil]

I went in the last round, and had a blast! It was really a great experience, and I learned quite a bit. I'd love to do it this time around, but I'm unavailable pretty much the rest of the month :( ...tied up with work.
