[clue-admin] Fwd: [K12OSN] By Golly you should come! Join us at FOSSed next week!

[David L. Willson]

I think this should go on -announce, but it's not a CLUE event. What about -talk? Hm. That list can be a bunch of off-topic trash, so serious Linux folks might miss it. -tech? hmm... It's not really technical, more of an event announcement, but again, not a CLUE event.
