[Ubuntu-SG] Speaker Request for NUS SFD, 19 Sept 2008 @ NUS

[K Sitt]

Hi XP,

Are you talking about THE guy? I heard he's quite busy with "i" stuff and is
not willing to give time to "u" materials.
OK, that was a joke.

But on a serious note, you can keep me as a back up speaker for Chew, as I
am quite keen on this kind of stuff. I can take half day leave on that day
to come down to help out with preparation as well.

Regards
K

PS. Please call me "K"
