Hi Tug, Okay, that sounds good. Given the topic and the week, I would like to present it in a Ghost Story format (ie. in darkness, holding a flashlight, and telling the story in a haunting manner “once there was a woman doing her MSc on Open Source Software at UOttawa…”). It could be called: “My Two Cents on the Recent Changes to CentOS 7 and 8: A Ghost Story”. This also makes it clear that it’s a non-research presentation :) I hope that would be okay, Katie ________________________________ From: Tug Williams <tug [ dot ] williams [ at ] gmail [ dot ] com> Sent: Tuesday, November 1, 2022 12:12:43 PM To: Katherine Mcmillan <kmcmi046 [ at ] uottawa [ dot ] ca>; linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org <linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org>; Jean-Francois Messier <jf [ at ] messier [ dot ] ca> Subject: Re: [linux] Meeting tonight Attention : courriel externe | external email Katie, I'd be interested to know what you're referring to, as I'm not a CentOS person... I could google, but I'd also be happy to hear on Thursday :) I also have a few discussion topics related to Dr Chen's talk. I have written a few notes, but nothing as concrete as "a talk". My 3 sub-topics (follow up questions from his the talk) relate to - open data formats (I have opinions) - data security (I have questions) - who pays the ferryman? (I have opinions and questions) Unrelatedley - I also did some initial investigation into Mastodon as an open source replacement for Twitter, which could lead to an interesting discussion. Maybe others have more experience. Alas I didn't get as far as successfully installing a server. So if there is interest, I think we have enough material for a few jitsi based discussions on Thursday.

I regret missing last month's meeting as Home Assistant and home automation are really interesting to me, however, I was unexpectedly detained. I would love to know about everyone's experiences around the changes to CentOS 7/8. Personally, those affected my thesis work - I'd like to know how/if they affected others and what others did. I'd be happy to explain the changes I'm talking about, if needed. Sincerely, Katie ________________________________ From: Jean-Francois Messier <jf [ at ] messier [ dot ] ca><mailto:jf [ at ] messier [ dot ] ca> Sent: 01 November 2022 11:45 To: linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org<mailto:linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org> <linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org><mailto:linux [ at ] linux-ottawa [ dot ] org> Subject: Re: [linux] Meeting tonight Attention : courriel externe | external email Yeah, actually, this is not tonight, but Thursday night.
