Special Meeting Announcement!

TALUG is holding another meeting at UT!  The last
one was a great success.  There was a huge turnout
and we had almost a whole lab running Ubuntu while
people took turns demo-ing stuff at the instructor's
station.

This meeting we will cover what's new in the latest
releases of the top three GNU/Linux distributions
(distros).  There have been several new releases in
the last month and there are some great new features
and some gotchas to avoid.  We will focus on Fedora
Core 5, openSUSE 10.1, and Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Edubuntu
6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake).  We'll also review the new
features in the Firefox 2.0 alpha release.

Of particular interest to students, we will also
discuss Google's "Summer of Code 2006" program.
Google will actually pay you to work on an open
source project over the summer!  We will look at
some of the interesting projects that are being
sponsored.

Finally, we will be screening the first 100% open
source movie, Elephants Dream!  It's a 10-minute
animated short produced entirely using open source
software, and all of its materials are freely
distributed.

We will also have GNU/Linux CDs to take home with
you...

We look forward to seeing you there!
