[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 13th May 2002

[Jim Jackson]

Greetings all,

Thanks to Jonathan for the look at the Gentoo Linux distribution last
month. Apologies for the demo being cut short in my talk - but the SBC
actually had died and is being repaired under warranty, but I've still not
got it back :-(

This month we have Aaron Crane of GBDirect, with the provocatively titled
talk "Does XML suck? or: Why XML is technologically terrible, but you have
to use it anyway". Aaron's done a wonderful synopsis, but it's too big for
here, so will post seperately to the wylug-discuss list.

We also have Neil Pilgrim giving "An Introduction to CORBA - A Tool for
Translucent Distributed Application Development". He intends to give a
brief introduction, a rough technical overview and show some example code.

This meeting is is where we say so long to the venue. By the time of the
June meeting the builders will be in and doing their damage. The June 10th
Meeting will be in the Chemistry Department at the opposite end of the
campus. I hope to have maps to hand out at the meeting and to post on the
web site.

Re. future meetings, I know Smylers has volunteered to talk about Request
Tracker 2, I think for the June meeting, is that right Smylers? And I
seem to remember someone else volunteering to do a talk, prob in July?
Maybe I'm hallucinating.

See you all on Monday,

cheers
Jim
