[Jay Zimmerman]

Greetings! 

The No Fluff Just Stuff Software Symposium Tour 
(www.nofluffjuststuff.com) is headed to Atlanta on October 6-8th for the 
5th Annual Greater Atlanta Software Symposium.  I hope you can join us 
for another great technical conference!
FYI...Make sure and attend the August AJUG meeting featuring one of our 
NFJS speakers, Venkat Subramaniam.  He is giving an outstanding talk 
entitled "Open Source Tools for Agile Development".  We will also be 
raffling off a pass to GAJSS 2006

Define: Great Technical Conference

* Excellent Speakers
* Timely, relevant topics
* Lack of Marketecture - "Fluff"
* Small Size - insure high level of interaction between speakers/attendees

The 2006 Greater Atlanta Software Symposium has all of the above!
