Hello, I am just writing to let people know that I will be attending FOSSY in a few weeks in Portland Oregon, from August 1-4:

While I don't have a talk scheduled or anything, I would like to take the opportunity to discuss FOSS-related legislation ideas with anyone who's interested there. Specifically, I'd like to do some markup on NH RSA 21-R:
