Hi All, Just a quick heads up on CUUG's next meeting:
TOPIC: Open Source Desktop Software Directions SPEAKER: Aaron Seigo Time/Loc: See below for details ABSTRACT: The media and the market are abuzz with news and discussion of the open source desktop, but there is very little consistency in the messages. Just where is open source desktop software today? Where is it going? What can (and can't) it do for companies, governments and home users? How can you help out, and when should you jump on board? This presentation looks at both the technology and market forces that are behind modern open source desktop software and attempts to clear the air with some sensibility. Aaron Seigo is a 15 year veteran in the software industry who currently works full time as an open source software developer. Within the KDE project Aaron works on the desktop framework and various applications, writes for online and print journals, is on the KDE e.V. board of directors and speaks around the world on topics relating to KDE and Free software. W.R. Castell Central Library 616 Macleod Trail S.E. Basement meeting room 5:30 PM, Tuesday, December 12, 2006 (2nd Tuesday) $10 attendance fee, free for CUUG members. ..............................................................
