Hello all,
We'll be having a general meeting today from 7:00 to 9:00 PM in Reitz Meeting Room 272. At this meeting, we'll discuss Free Your PC (which is coming up quickly--next Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday!), the Free Culture Conference that several of us attended recently, and other important things for the rest of this semester. I know the notice is short, but please try to come out tonight so we can really coordinate our efforts through the end of the semester.
Best,
Jennifer Griffith-Delgado
President, Florida Free Culture
