KLUG's purpose is to provide its members and the community with useful
and relevant information concerning the use of Open Source software. 
One of the prerequisites of fulfilling that goal is knowing what our
members and the community want and/or need.  To facilitate scheduling
useful and relevant presentations and topics at our meetings we ask that
you take a few minutes to answer TWO questions.  Simply reply to
programdirector@kalamazoolinux.org with your selections (and comments)
from the TWO questions below.  For the purpose of collating the
responses we ask that you not edit the subject line beyond letting your
MUA add the usual Re:/RE: prefix.
