I think my message got lost the first time around. I contacted WPI and got a response that sounded like the event would be open to the public. -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org on behalf of Jared Greenwald Sent: Mon 1/9/2006 11:51 PM To: Worcester Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [Wlug] Stallman at WPI, 1/13 @ 11am Yea, I can imagine this would bring a packed house... -Jared On 1/9/06, Mike Leo <mleo963(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > any wpi'rs here? > > Do we need tickets?

I found a contact address for events @ wpi and recieved this response, good news. >From Michael C Voorhis <mvoorhis(a)cs.wpi.edu>: I'm not aware of any restrictions on the audience. The event description doesn't imply any restrictions (I just looked) and I would believe RMS to be opposed to any restrictions in any case.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI all, I heard Richard Stallman speak at Holy Cross several years ago. I would highly recommend attending if at all possible. Richard is an excellent speaker, and his ideas are well thought. Whether or not you agree with him, I think it is still quite worthwhile to hear him.

I can't say for certain that will work. Before you try that, i would try kill all instances of korganizer (logging out of kde may be best too, as i think it used load a korganizer instance in the background), backing-up korganizer's config file then start korganizer. $ cp ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc.back $ korganizer > Since I'd rather not be without my calendar for long, does anyone have > any recommendations for a replacement program that can read the files > made by KOrganizer?

I believe almost all calendar programs can read those files (located in ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/*.ics: Evolution, Mozilla's calendar program, sylpheed, i think even the ipod can read those files, and probably many others. --brad
