Wednesday, October 8th; 7 - 9pm MIT Building E51 Room 145 Ximian Desktop 2 and Red Carpet Enterprise
Greg Mancusi-Ungaro, Ximian Ximian is one of the companies most focused on Linux in the corporate world, so they have front line perspective on the challenges and benefits of implementing open source. With large organizations beginning to implement Linux both in and beyond traditional server environments, and even on the desktop, it's important for us as systems administrators to understand why and how they are doing so. Ximian has a privileged vantage point in the industry to shed some light on the subject. Hope to see you all there. Dave Some background excerpts on Ximian from their website: Ximian offers a complete Linux desktop environment and productivity application suite as well as enterprise software management solutions. Ximian had its genesis in the GNOME project, which was initiated in 1997 by Miguel de Icaza, Ximian's CTO and cofounder. In October of 1999, de Icaza and Friedman founded Ximian (then called Helix Code), attracting many of the leading architects of the GNOME system, to create additional open source products, services and development tools based for GNOME. In August 2000, Ximian helped drive the formation of the GNOME Foundation, which today includes industry leaders Sun Microsystems, IBM, Red Hat, HP, SuSE and others. --- Send mail for the `bblisa' mailing list to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'.
