[BLU/Officers] Fwd: [Discuss] LibrePlanet 2012 this coming weekend

[gaf.linux at gmail.com (Jerry Feldman)]

Basically, we do our best to avoid conflicts. First, we need to make
sure that most of our volunteers will be available. (eg. avoid Jewish
holidays), Avoid other Linux events because these are put on by other
regional Linux groups. But, many times a conflict comes up, and there
really is not a good choice.
