[Speakers] IBM researcher "Sysadmins Are Users Too!"

[Paul Cubbage]

Marc,
I have agreement from the IBM guy to speak August or September (or 
later).  He has to come from Dallas and will bring some other people also.

Check out his talk at

His email to me

Hi Paul,
I currently telecommute from Dallas so am only sporadically in the Bay
Area.  I've been communicating the idea of coming to svlug to my group 
and there is quite a bit of enthusiasm for it.  So the only question 
seems to be who and when.  Since the two dates you proposed are fairly 
far out there, it looks like we could sign up for one and work out the 
details later.

I don't have a preference between Aug 6 and Sep 3.  What time of day is 
it?  And where does it meet?  I'll copy the other potential speakers 
from my group because they would probably be interested in attending as 
well, even though it looks like either day would work for me.

thanks for helping us make the connection,
Rob Barrett

How do I get him scheduled?
