[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 9th October 2000

[Jim Jackson]

Greetings all,

The last meeting seemed to go ok. Owen's GRUB talk at the last meeting was
very interesting and several people have said they are going to try it out.
I hope my ramblings went down ok.

We have a bumper session in October. Simon Wood is going to talk about Digital
Photography with Linux, hopefully with some helpful tips on using GIMP on the
images, and Ruediger Berlich of SuSE UK will talk on "Who's going to use Linux
and what for?". Ruediger says:
 
"The talk summarises the development of the Linux market over the years and
 then tries to give an educated guess about where the Linux market is
 going. This is based on actual figures and market analysis' as provided by
 various organisations like IDC, Deutsche Bank, the Linux Counter, etc.
"

Ruediger is also prepared to talk about issues with the New SuSE 7 release
also.

Since the last meeting Simon Wood has created some Linux for Schools pages at

 http://www.wylug.org.uk/school

It's an excellant start but input is needed. Please have a look round the site
and offer your comments to simon, especially if you know of a school where
linux is being used or even considered.


I'm still organising the December meeting, but on Mon 13th November
we have 

"GNovember is Gnome Gnight" :-)

Ben Lamb will demonstrate the Gnome and talk about configuration and
installation. 

Nigel Metheringham will talk about writing Applications for Gnome.



That's it. Hope to see you at the October meeting.

All the best
Jim
