Agenda: Open Discussion: Can Open Source be Trusted?

Most of us recognize the problems of viruses and spyware associated with 
popular closed source operating systems. Even if these issues aren't 
currently a problem for open source software, is there any potential 
that they could be in the future? Is the open source development and 
distribution model an asset, liability, or both in terms of security and 
trustworthiness? Obviously we in the GLLUG tend to be open source 
advocates and may be somewhat biased, but this is an excellent 
opportunity to frankly discuss these issues and hopefully identify a few 
solid reasons why open source software can be trusted and whether or not 
there is room for improvement.

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!
