Re: Getting Daryll Strauss to talk

[David Taylor <dtaylor@zig.usc.edu>]

Sure, I'll ask them <student_council@imsc.usc.edu> and see what they say.
My first suggestion would be to have this be a CS Department talk so that
faculty go and perhaps push Linux in the research they are doing (darn
those MS-only boxes).  This would also be a great opportunity for some
SCLUG people to get tight with the new Chair (there is one, right?).

I'll ask about the IMSC route, and let everyone know.
