[clug-talk] COSSFEST Press Release

[Shawn Grover]

Those of us who are planning COSSFEST 2009 are resisting replying to 
this, as we'd like an honest response from the community.  If you were 
at COSSFEST 2007, please let Jesse know what you liked about it.  If you 
are planning on attending COSSFEST 2009, please pass a note to Jesse 
with a hint why you might be attending.

Jesse has graciously taken on this effort, and the more "buzz" we can 
raise, the more (hopefully) people we can get out to the event.  Which 
means we can attract more speakers and sponsors to make the event better 
and add more "buzz".

For those who may not know about COSSFEST, you can learn more at 
www.cossfest.ca.

Thanks!!  And thanks Jesse!!

Shawn
