Hi everyone, Sorry for not notifying you sooner, but due to the 4th Monday falling on Labour Day, we are postponing the October WLUG meeting till Monday 31 October. It will be at the 'new' time of 7:30pm[1], and will be in the same location (Lit.B at the University) as usual. The presentation will be "Contributing to Open Source Projects", presented by Ian McDonald. He will cover - wiki-ing - SourceForge - source code management systems - writing documentation - use of mailing lists (including warnings about flames etc) - submitting code It is aimed at all levels - everyone, even if they can't code, can contribute by testing, documenting etc. Ian has returned to PhD studies at the University after 15 years in the IT workforce. His research is on congestion control in networking and has contributed to many open source projects, notably including the DCCP protocol for Linux, which is currently being merged into the main Linux kernel. Hope to see you all there. Regards, Craig [1] As previously discussed at the AGM, all meetings from now on will be held at 7:30pm, as the reasons for holding them earlier in winter no longer apply.
