[EdLUG] December meeting - On day $N of Xmas, FOSS gave to me...

[Thomas Kluyver]

Just a reminder, please do have a think about what bit of open source software, hardware, or anything you could talk about, and get in touch with me. I can also help if you'd like to talk but can't think of a topic. It's only 5 minutes *maximum*, so you don't need to find a lot to say about it.

I'll post a list of suggested topics in a few more days, but I'd really like to see what you come up with yourselves before that.

Thanks Tai for offering a talk about Minecraft!

Best wishes,
Thomas

It could be something so widespread we hardly notice it, like DNS, or a personal story like how you rescued a broken laptop using Linux. It could be open hardware, or even an open source cola (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCola_(drink) ). The only requirement is for something open source which you're glad exists!

We're hoping to have a delayed meal together some time in January/February. If that happens, the details will of course be on this list.
