Hi all: The Back Bay LISA meeting on Wednesday, February 9th, 2011 will be with Jon "Maddog" Hall who is the Executive Director of Linux International (www.li.org). You may also know him from his many articles or his "Linux for Dummies" book. He's also spoken at BLU at least once in the past, and I'm betting many of you know who he is. His talk is titled: Project Caua: Private Sector, Environmentally Friendly Jobs with Free Software Project Caua is an Open project to create millions of private sector, environmentally friendly jobs utilizing FOSS in urban areas of Latin America, and millions more around the world. In addition, Project Caua will open an avenue for free (as in beer) wireless Internet to help defeat the digital divide, and to provide low-cost training to move people off unemployment and create taxpayers. The specifications for Project Caua can be found at http://www.projectcaua.org/. This talk will outline Project Caua and open the discussion for actual implementation details. As usual you can view the full announcement at: http://www.bblisa.org/index.html and our future schedule at http://www.bblisa.org/calendar.html Please come hear him talk; this is a *really* cool project!
