The Board did discuss topic below at last exec meeting, but did not really make a decision.

I had already suggested that for a WINE session it makes no sense to talk in generalities
-- one needs to have a set of applications which are to be run BEFORE presenting or will
get "Does it run XYZ?" questions. Other board members have made similar comments.

I am willing to present a general "Linux is just an operating system" presentation, but
I'm going to suggest that the "WINE" talk be changed to "Making anything work under Linux"
i.e., use of Wine, VMs, and web/server based solutions.

There may be an agenda of the School Board folk that is not perfectly aligned with FLOSS,
but the two topics could be rolled out more generally and be useful to OCLUG to have as
resource material.

Anyone willing to participate?

Minor annoyance -- template is in .doc.

FYI date is Feb 18, 2011.

If willing, please contact me off-list.

John Nash

Hi John Nash!

I had hoped to see you at the OCLUG Meeting but I could not attend.

I have undergone a Dental Surgery proceedure that has left me in great pain.

I am hoping that you have been able to locate presenters for the two
Linux Presentations that I have described to you.

The Committee and I require the filled out forms that I sent you as an
attachment in my last message to you. we need this to be able to enter
the Sessions into our brocure to be circulated to our membership.

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thanks so much for your interest and time.

Sincerely,

Gord Stewart
B&LT Technician
