[ale] Emergency speaker request [ was Ale Central meeting ]

[Michael D. Hirsch]

Okay, I've gotten a replacement speaker from Novell.  Several people from 
Novell and their partners will be there on Thursday to talk about Linux, Open 
Source, and Novell.

My thanks to all who volunteered to speak.  I'll be cornering you separately 
to get to to present at another time.  ;-)
