The Linux Users' Group of Roseville, California will be holding a meeting on: Monday, November 25, 2002, 6:30pm - 9:30pm Topic is: Tux Paint http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/tuxpaint/ Reviews: Linux Magazine November 2002 While it won't help you produce a Hollywood blockbuster like Cinelerra, Tux Paint will keep your kids (and you) entertained for hours on end. Linux Journal October 2002 When I want to see how good a program of this type is, I show my kids and let them go at it. If they're asking for it the next time they log in, I've got a winner. Linux-Magazin A German Linux magazine, October 2002 New Breed Software published Tux Paint, a program which accompanies children with their first artistic steps at the computer. Revista do Linux A Brazilian Linux magazine, September 2002 The young artists can also be benefited with Linux to start to create their own artistic works. Presented by Bill Kendrick Bill Kendrick has been writing classic-style video games ever since he was a kid (when they were "modern"). Bill fell in love with Unix while studying Computer Science at Sonoma State University, so the move from 'no real computer to speak of' to Linux in 1998 was a natural one. Bill co-founded and helps run the Linux Users Group of Davis, where he's learned a lot about the Free Software movement, Open Source and the intricacies of Linux (and the people who use it). In 2001, with the development of "Tux, of Math Command" (still unfinished), Bill joined the loose collection of developers, testers, packages and users known as the "Tux4Kids" project, which "Tux Paint" is part of. Bill also uses his 'New Breed Software' name to release other, less educational Linux software, like "Defendguin" and "Bug Squish." The meeting will be held at: Nerdbooks 911 Washington Blvd Roseville, CA 95678 http://www.nerdbooks.com 916-677-1400 The new and improved website can be found here: http://www.rosevillelug.org The old RoseLUG web site is still here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/roselug/ Regards, Verbus M.
