[CLUE-Announce] CLUE DTC - March 2003 Meeting ***New Location***

[El Presidente de CLUE]

Greetings.

Please join us at CLUE's new DTC location -- the Aurora room of the Radisson 
Hotel Denver Southeast at I-225 & Parker Rd -- for a special evening with IBM 
and Intel. 

For this meeting, we are departing from our usual topic format.  There is no 
KISS session, but rather two separate presentations from Intel and IBM 
regarding their interests in Linux.  Intel will begin at 6:30 pm, followed by 
IBM.  Finally, we will conclude with a Q&A session, open to everyone.

Below, you can read the abstracts for their presentations and directions to 
the new meeting location.  I hope to see you Tuesday!
