[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 13th October 2003

[Jim Jackson]

Greetings All,

Thanks to Simon Wood for the talk on video editing last month.
I think I've got what James had last month (he had to cancel his talk due
to illness) and am dripping into the keyboard and coughig instead of
speaking :-( Hopefully will be ok for Monday and the BIG FILM SHOW!

We are showing "Revolution OS"  http://www.revolution-os.com/ ....

"REVOLUTION OS tells the inside story of the hackers who rebelled against
the proprietary software model and Microsoft to create GNU/Linux and the
Open Source movement." It's a DVD projection over the projector in the
lecture room we use. The DVD we have is NTSC and hopefully we can get rid
of some artefacts from the NTSC to PAL conversion we've seen.

The Film was shown last Tuesday night at the Leeds Film Festival, but
because of illness I wasn't able to go and distribute WYLUG flyers.

There's an A4 leaflet for the meeting at

 http://www.wylug.org.uk/meetings/2003/misc/rev_os_poster.pdf

It's a good introduction to the personalities and background behind
the Free Software / Open Source  world.

The film lasts about 85 mins, less if we skip the appalling song at the
end!

See you on Monday, sniff, cough, splutter......

cheers
Jim
