Open Source Chicago - sponsored by Brunswick

I wanted pass along a personal invitation, I hope that you will be able to attend. JT Smith, Director of Technology for WDI (A Division of Brunswick), will be reviewing Open Source Software and the impact it can have in today's business. There are so many different applications out there that are Open Source (no cost) that can help all of us in today's economy. We figured the best way to accomplish this is to collaborate with other businesses that are using open source or have the same general interest in Open Source. Meetings will be held Bi-Monthly with different featured speakers. More information can be found on the website: http://www.OSSChicago.com .
