Some notes I took at the meeting:
DB backend possibilities: PostgreSQL, MySQL
use of SAMBA for File & Print service
Sessions suggested at meeting:
Presentation Track:
Keynote Speaker - Linux in Business - a real-world experience
Linux - Costs and Features
Linux - Supporting your systems
Office Management Track:
Integrating Linux and Windows
The All-Linux environment
Transitioning from Windows to Linux
(note, these would be showing the same business tasks being done on a
mixed environment [Windows Desktop w/MS Office] and a Linux
environment [say StarOffice ofr the office apps], both going to a
Linux server doing file & print, database, & web services
Other:
E-commerce with Linux
Managing your e-mail and communications with Linux??
Other resources to be made available:
Room for the people to play with Linux hands-on
VAR room
Refreshments
Also, we wanted to be able to burn the demos onto a CD, and put them
onto the GNHLUG website, for future use by ourselves and others. Note
that these requirements mean we need to ensure the licensing is OK on
distributing the apps.
