Hello everyone,
Next month's meeting will be held at IBM Hursley. Details of exact
arrangements will be published nearer the time, but if you're thinking of
attending, could you drop either me or Anton Piatek an e-mail, so we know who
will be on site.
However, we still need another (at least one) speaker for the debate. If you'd
like to speak, please let me know by midnight on Saturday.
The topic is "The future of Linux". Given that it's a rather broard title, we
(myself and the speakers) will decide on a set of more specific subjects
(probably 2 or 3), which are suitable for all the speakers to actually debate.
So effectively, you can pick a subject you are reasonably familiar with. You
will then have a few weeks to ensure that you have good arguments (which at
least vaguely line up with the other speakers), which are then presented at
the debate.
There is quite a bit of work involved, but it's a great way to learn more
about a particular aspect of Linux.
Sample subjects might be:
Do funded developers detract from the philosphy behind Linux and FLOSS?
Have we waited too long for Samba4?
Will current hardware trends benefit Linux?
Was the development of Linux probable from a sociological perspective?
Has Linux been the greatest shift in computer science of the last 20 years?
Will Linux continue to grow at it's current rate?
Can we advocate Linux effectively?
Hope this is food for thought, please let me know by midnight on Saturday.
Cheers,
Tim B.
