I'm looking for both some topic ideas as well as some speakers for future BLU meetings. Some things I'd like to explore is: 1. VOIP - we had a speaker lined up who got preempted by his company. 2. Legal - I'd possibly like to get someone, maybe from FSF (Free Software Foundation), EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation), or some other person who has the expertise to speak about the current issues around intellectual property and Linux that have been called into question by the SCO lawsuits where SCO (specifically Darl McBride) is actually challenging the legality of the GPL. My personal interest here is more toward educating the community about Linux and the legality to use it without licensing or fear of reprisal. If anyone out there knows someone who can speak to our group on a relevant topic (remember we are both Linux and Unix, so FreeBSD and commercial Unix systems are appropriate). -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
