Folks,

I've been contacted as HUMBUG President by a employee in the Queensland
Department of Main Roads asking for assistance.  Here is their request:

  To the members of HUMBUG:

  I have been reading about the Linux Operating System (OS) for some time now
  and I believe; as does Congressman Juan Alberto Gonzalez of the Republic of
  Peru (http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/25157.html); that it is now the
  correct time for my employer, the Queensland Department of Main Roads to
  switch from the expensive, unreliable, insecure, proprietary OSes they have
  be using up till now to the inexpensive, reliable and secure, open-source
  OSes that are available and that will allow the department to maintain the
  appropriate government information for years to come without being tied into
  one software supplier.

  To that end, I have begun a report to the management of my department to
  convince them to make that switch.  However, I am a computer user and not a
  hacker so I need the help of a Linux-proficient person to help me complete
  this report.

  Do any of you have the ability, experience, knowledge and time to help me in
  this worthwhile project?

  I would like to thank any volunteers that come forward in advance and I look
  forward to meeting you some time in the future.

Please email me with your expressions of interest - I will collate and
forward them.

Yours sincerely,

- -- Mark John Suter | I know that you  believe  you understand
