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.
$10 attendance fee, free for CUUG members
Door prizes.
