Fwd: opportunity to publish an article

[Owen Densmore]

A chance to be Rich and Famous .. well Famous anyway.
Michelle is a friend of mine from Sun and doing
great work in the standards world.

If you would like to contribute to the new
book they're putting out .. "Dynamic Tension",
let Michelle and I know.

I can show you the first book.  Quite well
done and bound well enough to grace a
lawyer's office!
