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).
