Dear David Harris,

You should have previously received a personal letter of invitation by now, in case you haven't please consider this email your invitation to join me, Gary Beach, Publisher of CIO magazine, for an invitation-only, interactive discussion on Tuesday, August 15th on open source at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, California. I believe you'll find this convenient, half-day format a perfect fit for your busy schedule!

I've assembled a panel of senior IT executives including; Guru Vasudeva, AVP & Enterprise Chief Architect, Nationwide; Michael Gallagher, Global Manager of Enterprise Architecture, ABN Amro; and Curtis Edge, CIO, The Christian Science Monitor ,who are actively involved in deploying Linux and open source in their organizations, for a highly interactive discussion on key topics such as:

- What strategic objectives has open source answered in your organizations?
- What barriers have you had to overcome to make these deployments successful?
- What Linux or open source deployments have you attempted that you do not consider successful?
- What is limiting open source from achieving full acceptance?

I truly hope you can join me for this interactive, dynamic discussion format. The Summit format will afford all of us the opportunity to have a live, correlative conversation filled with actionable findings to bring back and implement in your organization.
Remember this is an invitation only event for Senior IT executives.
