MHVLUG is proud to announce our November 2008 meeting: Releasing Open Source
Software.
There are hundreds of thousands of open source projects out there
today, and new ones every day. Have you ever wondered what it takes
to get involved in these projects, or to start your own?
Sean Dague will lead a directed panel discussion with Mike Kershaw,
Sean O\'Conner, and Mike Mueller on releasing Open Source Software.
Topics covered will include basic mechanics and licensing to just get
the code out there in the first place, building a community based on
that software, and common challenges you may have.
People are encouraged to bring their own questions and experiences to
the table, we expect this to be a highly interactive session.
Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks, each 5
minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun
new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the
wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have
emailed me in advance, you're all on. Time permitting, we'll also
take impromptu lightning talks from the floor.
If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk,
please arrive at 5:30, to ensure we can work out any kinks with the
projector prior to the meeting.
I also have a couple of Prentice Hall books to give away.
The meeting will take place at the Mid Hudson Library System
Auditorium, in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Wednesday, November 5,
from 6pm - 8pm. A nice map to the Auditorium can be found here:
http://midhudson.org/help/mhls_building_map.htm.
All meetings are *free* and open to the public, and everyone from all
levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are
encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! In addition, after
each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner
gathering at the Palace Diner (http://www.thepalacediner.com/) on
Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members
of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments
are strongly welcomed.
