[nzlug] ANNOUNCE: Aucklug Meeting 4th December

[Joel van Velden]

Who   : Brett Roberts, Director of Innovation at Microsoft New Zealand.

What  : On the Microsoft/Novell deal.
On November 2 2006 Microsoft and Novell announced a joint patent
agreement. This was met with much disagreement from the free and
open-source communities, and with much confusion over what exactly the
deal means.

Where : Novell
        Level 1
        39 Market Place
        Viaduct
        Next door to Sunshine Chinese Restaurant 
        See end of email for links to maps

When  : Monday, 4th December 2006. Talk starts at 19:30.
        Please be on time or you may find it difficult to get 
        into the building.

We weren't planning to have a December meeting, but interest in this
topic is very high.

For those out of town, we may be able to provide a live IRC chat. More
details later.

Please remember to bring a packet of nibbles or drink to share.

Thanks to Novell for the use of this venue.

All are welcome.

Regards,
Joel van Velden
