[Wylug-announce] Next Meeting - Monday 12th July 2004

[Jim Jackson]

Hi All,

Thanks to Mark for doing the honours last meeting.

Hope the talks from Nigel and Rik went well.

Rik gets to face you again this month with his "Advanced IP Networking 2"
when he'll cover "...Internet architecture involving Autonomous Systems,
traffic flow, route exchange, peering etc.".

Also we have Novell coming to talk to us about their Linux strategy.
Seemingly at the Novell Road show in Leeds last month the IBM guy that
spoke to us last November, sang our praises - we'd impressed him!
Novell's take should be interesting.

Hope to see lots of you on Monday

all the best
Jim

     In the past 18 months Novell, a traditional specialist in file,

   space and has acquired its own Linux distribution - SUSE, and Linux
     desktop management through Ximian. They have also contributed to
   Open Source with such programs as ifolder. With a new Linux desktop
     planned and full, desktop to server support in place Novell is
       setting itself up as an industry leader in the Linux space.
