KWLUG: An evening with Dr. Peter H. Salus

[Interlug]

Hello LUG folks,

The September KWLUG meeting will be upon us in a fortnight.  (Sorry,
I've just always wanted to use the word fortnight in an email)  

Q: What do you get when you cross a comprehensive UNIX encyclopedia with
your favourite Uncle?  
A: A delightful evening of UNIX and Linux history and anecdotes!  

Date:    Monday 11 September 2006
Time:    7:00pm (doors and ad-hoc conversation at 6:00)
Topic:   UNIX and Linux - Anecdotes you haven't heard
Where:   KWLUG at 43 Queen Street S, Kitchener ON [1]
Who:     Open to all with an interest in UNIX, Linux and Open Source
Cost:    Free, as in 'gratis'

If you have not yet met Peter Salus, you owe it to yourself to attend
the KWLUG meeting in September.  Peter is known as The UNIX Historian
and has witnessed most of the history of UNIX and Linux by taking an
active role in forming it.  To describe Peter as an author is accurate
as he has penned such classics as _The Big Book of Ipv6 Addressing RFCs_
and _A Quarter Century of UNIX_.  But that doesn't tell the whole story
of Peter as he has also been a professor, a dean, a journalist,
executive, pundit, raconteur...  

You can find Dr. Salus' current work in progress, _A History of Free and
Open Source: The Daemon, The GNU & The Penguin_ at Groklaw [2]  _A
History of Free and Open Source: The Daemon, The GNU & The Penguin_ is
published under a Creative Commons License [3]

You will be entertained, educated and delighted by Dr. Salus at the
KWLUG meeting in September.  The members of KWLUG welcome you to attend
any and all of our meetings, but we know you'll really be kicking
yourself if you miss this one.
