[Speakers] [Fwd: Re: SVLUG: November meeting]

[Joyce Cao Traugott]

Hi Wim,

It is not clear what your talk descriptions are unless I am missing something.  You can find
examples of the previous speakers talk descriptions here:

http://www.svlug.org/meetings.shtml

There is only one week left, and I know you might be busy, but if you could send me a
complete and more descriptive talk description, I can put it on the web.  With the current
description, I don't think it will attract many people to come.  This is just my opioion, and
I reserve the right to be wrong.

Are we including this to the talk description?

Thank you,
