[klug] Tonights meeting - and next month.

[kluglinux.grp.lancer at xoxy.net]

We had a fairly low attendance tonight; Peter Dinnan, Ivor Sanders (new 
to KLUG) and myself (Lance Flavell). Nevertheless, the evening was 
fairly busy. We got to see "Elephants Dream", the world's first ever 
Open Movie (a 3D animated film created entirely from Open Source tools 
like The Gimp and Blender). See http://www.elephantsdream.org

We discussed ways of getting the KLUG better known, as well as some 
ideas for events that even those with relatively little Linux exposure 
would enjoy.

Next meeting we are planning on watching "Revolution OS", an 85 minute 
movie showing the story of how Linux came to be. Watch Linux legends 
like Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Bruce Perens, Eric Raymond and 
others explain in their own words what drove them to making their 
contributions to GNU/Linux OS. See how the Open Source hackers managed 
to survive against repeated attempts to quash their progress. Get to 
hear of the original situations which sparked off the need for GPL. 
Heaps more things that you will want to know in order to understand the 
"why" of Linux. See http://revolution-os.com for details.

This movie to show on Thursday 5th October.

Lancer :-)
