Please Advice - Fedora 9 Release Party at Los Angeles

[Grady Laksmono]

Updates,
Thomas will not be available to give a talk during that time. So, I
decided will be the one who's going to give a talk and promote Fedora
during this event. The target audiences are anticipated to be mostly
my colleagues.

Thanks,
Grady
