Hi, everyone.

Time to get the "advanced" track rolling again...

The January 2006 third-Saturday meeting (1/21) will be the first in a
series on package managers.  This series should be geared more toward
the advanced/experienced users and will continue on successive third
Saturdays.

For Part I, we will have a very brief (5-10 minutes) demonstration of
why we need package managers.  Then, we will have Josh Locklear 
presenting the various Slackware package managers and the Arch package
manager and Abdul (QoD) presenting klik, the new OSX-like package 
manager.  If there's time and interest, we could also try to squeeze
in Gentoo's Portage system (emerge).  Then there should be time left
for discussion and socializing.

Part II (2/18) will hopefully give us a chance to delve into the more
mainstream package managers (rpm, dpkg/apt, etc.).

I hope to see you there!
