[ale] Net Neutrality Protest Dec 7

[Michael Potter]

Sorry Charles,

I did not see your request to stop by until just now.

I will be at Atlanta Tech Village this Friday so anyone wants to stop by
for the group lunch (few hundred people) send me an email (to make sure I
see it).

You have to pay for parking ($2/hour) but I will cover lunch ($10).
