[dundee] Software Freedom Day Talks

[Hazel McKendrick]

Here's my details, which I haven't actually sent to Arran because I'm
useless (and without internet right now)

Free and Open Source Software for Students

An overview of how Open Source software can benefit students.  This
talk will consider a range of applications for both Windows and Linux,
particularly focussing on time management software and the essentials
for students no matter what they are studying.

I've used Gentoo Linux for a number of years and have been a member of
the Abertay Linux Society since its conception.  Conveniently enough,
I am also a student beginning my fourth year of Computer Games
Technology at Abertay.


Anyway - gotta go catch my bus!

Hazel.
