April 1998 Newsletter of the

Front Range Unix Users Group


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


Contents:


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 Foundation, 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 commercially-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 commercially-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.

  • 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 at fruug.org if you have other interesting topic ideas or are interested in presenting a fruug talk.


FRUUG Library Notes

You may check books out using your business card as your library card; you must be on the membership list to check books out. Books are due at the meeting following the one in which they are checked out. If you don't return your library books by the next meeting, you might find yourself on our overdue book list. We count on you returning books on time so that other members may have the chance to use them as well.
