Michael W. Lucas is having an “open dinner” tomorrow, in Scottsdale, AZ. That means you get to talk about his tech books and BSD and conventions and whatever else enters collectively enters everyone’s heads, I assume, over dinner. (you buy your own food; the talking’s free) It sounds like a potential little mini-convention; you should go.
A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
I’m pretty sure if Lucas wanted people to pay him to talk and have dinner with him he could easily charge for it.
