Profound thanks to Peter Robinson for holding up the fort -- even if he
Can't join all of us for the amazing http://linuxfestnorthwest.org North of

Still, if Peter's available this year to put on his makeup in the

(*) or post-OLPC/Sugar community to keep the gloomy depressives solidly
hooked+loyal...as sky-is-falling negativity sells right off the charts
according to this Mr T guy whose building in NYC I keep walking by...he
even has red ballcaps imprinted with "Make the Internet Great Again" to
fund us apparently ;)
