[mario juliano grande balletta]

thanks jonathan, that sounds like there will definitely be more traffic,
and that's what we want, more visitors, more chances to present linux

ok, looks like im on board and all set to go

ill check the NELF site for dates

jonathan, i'll have some fedora talks ready, and we can start coordinating

thanks for the help and let's see if we can make some noise this year!
