Agenda: Open Source: An Introduction
by Brian Gasperosky and Jeff Lawton

The open source movement is growing by leaps and bounds every year. 
High-profile software projects like Apache, Linux, and OpenOffice have 
gained the attention of the I.T. industry. Despite this momentum, there 
are still many who wish to know more about the basics of open source 
software. This presentation serves as a gentle introduction to open 
source development, philosophies, and benefits. It will include case 
studies, cost advantages, and some reasons why open source software is 
excellent for personal, business, government, non-profit, and 
educational use.

Please take a moment to RSVP if you plan to attend this meeting so that 
we can get a general idea of how many will show up. Just reply to this 
message (with the GLLUG list address in the "To:" field) indicating 
your desire to attend and/or change the message Subject to "RSVP". 
Thanks!
