New venue this time, we will be at the CFC Preview Theatre, 19-23 Wells St., London W1, not too far from the Plaza Centre in Oxford Street. For a handy map, take a look at http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?P2M?P=W1P3FPZ=1 For your edutainment, we hope to have the following talks on the day. Martin Ling - "Wireless networking with Linux and the Consume.net project" Martin will provide an overview of wireless networking support in Linux, and explain how one can use low cost hardware to join in a spreading, decentralized and independent network being established through the consume.net project. If you already have wireless hardware, feel free to bring it along and join in the fun. John Hearns - "Computers Go to the Movies". It is a general introduction to the work of our host FrameStore, a post production movie house in Soho. He'll cover the equipment, computing and networking used for special effects and 3D animation work. Richard Moore (IBM) - "Dynamic Probes" Richard will tell us how to use IBM's DProbes with Opersys' Linux Trace Toolkit to provide a universal (dynamic) tracing capability for Linux. It is universal because it provides a common tracing mechanism for all executables whether in user or kernel space. It is dynamic because tracepoints are defined and applied dynamically to object modules as probepoints using DProbes - no source code modification is required. See http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/projects/dprob es/ for a taster of things to come. ---Stop-- Now if only someone would do a community news letter to cover this stuff...
