Our October meeting main talk was Christer Watson talking about FOSS in science, particulary astronomy. It was a good talk, covering both practical and philosophical reasons open source and science go together, as well as featuring cool graphics and the entertaining story of APES++ (did I get that right?), a software project gone horribly wrong.
Charlie Turner had a great story of his trip to Columbus for the Ohio Linuxfest, and how his beard might end up in the unix beard hall of fame. It sounds like a great event (Linuxfest, that is) – we need more representation next year.
Coming up we have a possible presentation on QEMU by newcomer Ben Dailey in November, a Christmas party at Rob’s or Munchies in December, and talks on Ruby and Backups with Subversion on tap for next year.
