Hi Munwar,

Yes, I know about Sandro having read about him on Seth Gottlieb's blog.
http://contenthere.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-open-source-marketing-company.html

Seth (cc'ed) will also be at the planning summit, so hopefully we can
have some good discussions about how to do open source marketing more
effectively.

Thanks for sharing the link!  And see you in a few days.

Nate
