As i understand it, we do have someone from SUN, to visit us for February and present us with an extensive chunk of information regarding Java, openJava and GPL and all that wend down. It looks to be intresting to boot, more so, we could get intrest from Java people, I know they are worried about the GPL , I was trying to calm them a bit, but i guess they choose to be worried , but nevertheless the presentation would prove to be very intresting. For January we had to find a presentation, and we did get a good one regarding VOIP from Simon. I am sure it will be a blast.
Dave has delegated me to handle the presentations in the upcoming period, that is why i am responding in detail to presentation connected postings. the Asterisk presentation is a natural after the voip, so i will be looking for a presentation on Asterisk in March .... I think the GPL presentation would be better after GPL V3 is finalized, sometimes in Q2 as expected. KDE stuff is allways welcome, specially from Aaron, i guess he is busy now, but will be less so after the next release, a more better time to tell us about the new and changed things, also to tell us about the new 3d engine / api that looks really promising even after seeing the current one :-) I think IpCop definitely deserves a good presentation, it has been quite the time since we had a firewall or networking presentation. I would also go into installing extra modules onto IpCop for content filtering and Parenting purposes, yep, kids are getting older ... GNUPG and Tellico, very intresting, specially the Tellico, did not know about that one. I would add KGpg for the GNUPG, it does make life a lot simpler with your and other keys also. I think these 2 subjects would well fit a single big presentation or maybe 3 mini presentations on the same day depending on how you want to look at it. GNUCash, and maybe even add sql-ledger is a big subject, i would wonder if we could get an accountant , or someone familiar with accounting to shed some more light of how these programs are meant to work. I could contact the sql-ledger team lead in Edmonton :-) He might be intrested in a good presentation about Ledger, And maybe we could also give justice to GNUCash. I prefer doing the discussion here in talk, and do the boring detail in private e-mail afterwords, regarding the subject, scope, blurb, etc ... it is allways a good idea to have as many $.02 CAD added to the discussion as possible.
