I got this email too (directly). It's the first piece of Linux spam I've
ever received. ;)

If you strip away the marketing BS it sounds like a great event, but the
BS.... yuk.

"This is the first and only opportunity to learn how to integrate Open
Source technology into your existing systems"

Please. Pull the other one. (I meant leg! don't touch THAT! Stop it!)
