Elektra,

Would you be interested in joining us in Berlin as part of FUDCon
(and adjacent to LinuxTag) to talk about your project and its needs?

	https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Berlin_2009

The FUDCon guys are being nice enough to provide us some space.
It would be good if we could reward them with a few talks that might
have general community interest.  Plus, you would have an opportunity
to deal directly with some of the key wireless developers in the
community.

Thanks,

John
