[Ubuntu-SG] Speaker Request for NUS SFD, 19 Sept 2008 @ NUS

[C David Rigby]

Good Morning TUSG,

OK, because I'm sort of ornery (just ask my mother) my proposed
presentation, to follow those of Chew and Heidir, is "FOSS is not just
GNU/Linux!" What I'll cover, super-briefly:


   - FOSS for Windows
   - Other OSes (*BSDs, Minix; Open Solaris will already be covered by Thanh
   Son most likely)
   - Applications of the Free & Open Source concept to other domains
   (biology and hardware, for example, but also Creative Commons).

What do you think?
