[clue] July Meeting

[Lorin Ricker]

Thanks for volunteering, Ray!  Your list of topics on data/sql, etc., is 
enticing.  As an old hand myself at (older, proprietary) database 
technologies, it would be fun to hear you speak on any of these.  I'll 
learn alot as I've not much experience with these FOSS & Linux-based 
products and concepts.  I'm game, and hope to see you present these 
either in July or at the very next opportunity!

best regards,
   -- Lorin
