Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, April 20, 2005 Converting Windows Applications to Linux

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

When: April 20, 2005 7:00PM (6:30 for Q&A)
Topic: Converting Windows Applications to Linux
Moderator: Ira Krakow
Location:  MIT Building E51 Room 145

Ira discusses Wine and Winelib, which make it possible to run some
Windows applications on Linux, and to more easily port applications that
were originally written for a Windows platform. He'll also touch on
other projects that can help an enterprise overcome its Windows
dependencies, such as ReactOS (the open source port of Windows NT),
MinGW (the port of GCC for Windows programs), and Mono (essentially,
Wine for .NET and C#). Ira is currently co-authoring a book for
Prentice-Hall, on Wine and Winelib; his co-author is Brian Vincent.
