RE: Follow up on Course Descriptions

[Fabio Kon <kon*ime:usp:br>]

Caro chefe e OO-maníacos,

O Joe Yoder, do grupo de patterns de Illinois, um cara que é muito conhecido
no meio OO internacional, está interessado em vir ao IME em agosto dar um
mini-curso e umas palestras para nós. Eu vou tentar organizar algo. Em
particular, seria legal conseguir atrair pessoas de empresas de São Paulo para
que possamos arrecadar um dinheiro para ajudar a pagar a passagem aérea para
ele.

Se alguém tiver alguma sugestão ou quiser me ajudar a viabilizar isso, favor
entrar em contato.

[]s,
Fabio.
