I'll leave it up to you. So August and September meetings have come and gone. I just got word back from Paul Anderson, the speaker I've been trying to line up, and he has tentatively said November will work. I'm waiting for a confirmation, and that could change, but right now, I think there's a good chance. So to garner interest in his talk, and to get the word out now, he'll be speaking about embedded Linux and how it's used at WindRiver in their products. I expect this will wander into other talks of technology that they have used, are using, and will use, as well. In addition, Paul is hoping to get in touch with some folks who have experience and/or interest in embedded Linux programming, so postering EE/CS would be good, and the ACM student chapter should definitely hear about this early to get the word out. (I assume we have current members on the list...) So, who's interested in this? Do you have specific questions or topics you'd like to have Paul speak of? Will you bring your embedded Linux developer friends along? Thanks folks. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
