[Cialug] Science Center Update 2

[David Champion]

Thanks for the update.

September 10 would be a good date... we will have plenty of time for 
planning and promotion, and having the tie-in to Software Freedom Day 
would be great.

I'll contact Mandriva and see if they'll send us some CD's and / or swag.
