James/Patrick,
Are you talking about the SLUG meeting on April 30?
There are two topics, which I could speak about briefly, but
on which I would also like to hear from others.
a) Prompted by the question about MPEG2 decoders - a short
talk/discussion/overview about Video Codecs and the
free/licensed issues for Linux/Browsers and consumer cam
corders.
b) Power Management in Linux - I am looking at power use in
general but could give a 15min talk on what I discover about
power management on the the Kogan Netbook (running gOS
- linux) if there is interest. I would love to hear a deep
tech talk on the power management modules in linux and maybe
something on servers.
To prompt other speakers who may have something to share on
this topic,
I came across this article April 2010 issue of ACM mag :
Recipe for efficiency: principles of power-aware computing.
