Rick Moen will be there

will you?

Rick Moen is a Linux activist in the San Francisco Bay Area who has acquired a reputation for attending virtually every Linux event in the whole Bay Area -- or at least those on his comprehensive list, Bay Area Linux Events. Rick is also an instigator of the Consortium of All Bay Area Linux, where the various Bay Area Linux user groups gather.

Some of the Linux User Groups have started to advertise their events with "Rick Moen will be there, will you?"

* Translations marked with an asterisk are still waiting to be improved by being rendered in Unicode; the versions given are either phonetic or lack non-ASCII characters.

+ Translations marked with a plus sign are automated translations via Altavista's Babelfish and are not guaranteed to be accurate (they are not confirmed by a human speaker).

% Translations marked with a percent sign refer to the prospective attendee as a man because of gender imparities in the language in question. This is not intended to suggest that female Linux users are discouraged from attending; they should lobby their vendors to get this behavior changed in the next version of the language.
