[ale] 1998 Atlanta Linux Showcase

[Greg Hankins]

We're beginning to start some serious work on this fall's ALS.  This
announcement is going to comp.os.linux.announce shortly.  I would also
like to remind you that you can join the ALS list, if you are interested 
in helping out with the show (email majordomo at cc.gatech.edu with 
"s*bscribe als" in the message body).
