We would like to invite you and the members of your group to attend the
Calgary Open Source Systems Festival (COSSFEST - www.cossfest.ca).

COSSFEST is a two day event featuring multiple speaking tracks and
workshops demonstrating the use of Open Source to lower costs, and
increase the capabilities and competitiveness of your business.

COSSFEST brings together thought leaders in the technology industry,
technology professionals, businessmen, and computer enthusiasts to share
the latest news and Open Source know-how.

COSSFEST 2009 will be held April 17th and 18th 2009 at the Coast Plaza
Hotel in Calgary.

We ask that you pass this information on to your group members, and
contact us if you would like to contribute.  We are currently looking
for:
  - sponsors to help offset the costs and highlight Open Source in the
wild (http://www.cossfest.ca/sponsorpackages)
  - speakers to share the knowledge (http://www.cossfest.ca/cfp)
  - volunteers and any other ideas to make the event bigger and better!

You can contact us at info at cossfest.ca for more information.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to seeing you on April 17th
& 18th!
