SV: OS Institutes

[Michael Herman]

linking back to tree's question elsewhere about how stuff gets into
the weblog...

this report from thomas is a good example of one sort of news we're
culling from the list and delivering for a different audience in the
weblog.  if you scan the weblog, you'll see other bits we've
collected.  you can also see who's doing the posting.

i've posted your report, thomas, and linked it back to your website,
so you get credit for it.

thanks!  and happy new year!
