PRESENTATION
by

<keithl at kl-ic.com>
Since 2005, Randall Munroe's xkcd.com, "A webcomic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language" has covered many topics dear to FOSS
advocates and has been discussed on the PLUG list many times.
The #1000 comic is expected to appear Friday January 6 just after
midnight eastern time, making Thursday January 5 "xkcd1k eve".
Join us for a celebration of XKCD1K eve at the PLUG general
meeting. We can display and discuss/explain some of the
Free/Libre/Open source cartoons, the various weblogs and forums
that have sprung up around them, draw our own cartoons (Keith
will bring art paper and pens), perhaps discuss the technology
of web comics.
Homework: bring your own list of favorite xkcd cartoons, and
we will display them at the meeting. Bring your artistic and
"right brained" friends. Bring your black porkpie hat. If
you are Richard Stallman, bring your katana sword.
Afterwards, at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub at 1945 nw Quimby, we
can welcome comic #1000, just after 9pm Pacific Time. Or not,
Randall is a trickster and may give us strip #1025, avoiding
the definition the size of a "kilo" ( http://xkcd.com/394/ ) .
