                        Front Range Unix Users Group

Special Engagement: 4:00pm Monday April 6 ACS Rm 123 - Richard Stallman

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Month's Meetings: Richard Stallman-Monday April 6; Bob Gray-Thursday
April 16

On MONDAY, APRIL 6, Richard Stallman, president of the Free Software Founda-
tion, and originator of the GNU project, will speak on a topic of his choosing.
We don't think the topic is a secret -- but we don't yet know what it is!

On Thursday, April 16, Bob Gray will be talking about Source Code UNIX, why
and how you'd use it, and what the advantages are over using the commer-
cially-available object-code only releases.  With this talk, we're sure that
you'll come up with a dozen new uses for that old PC you have tucked in your
closet.  A full abstract will be posted after April 6th.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meeting Location

The next meeting of the Front Range UNIX Users Group will be in room 123 of
the CU Academic Computing Center building at Arapahoe and Marine Streets in
Boulder.  Marine St intersects Arapahoe at 38th St; the Computing Center is
on the southwest corner.

Our Last Meeting

At the March meeting of the Front Range UNIX Users Group three speakers from
Sun Microsystems talked about the work in progress at the new Broomfield
site.

See the previous meetings page on the Fruug web site for more detail.

Upcoming Meetings

Our next couple of meetings are as follows:

   * On April 16, Bob Gray will be talking about Source Code UNIX, why and
     how you'd use it, and what the advantages are over using the commer-
     cially-available object-code only releases.

   * In May, we're planning a session on legal issues.  We think that FRUUG
     members would be most interested in the kinds of issues that come up as
     employees of high-tech companies, namely copyright and intellectual
     property issues.  If you have any specific suggestions or questions
     you'd like addressed, please let us know at fruug@fruug.org.

   * On June 17 Kevlin Henney, who did our January talk on Designing
     Distributed Object Systems with CORBA will be in town again and has
     offered to talk on Java Patterns.

Contact the FRUUG Executive Committee at fruug@fruug.org if you have other
interesting topic ideas or are interested in presenting a fruug talk.
