Meeting Minutes

Seth Schoen, Staff Technologist, The Electronic Frontier Foundation
The Empire Strikes Back: Constraining Free Software Development

Davis Library

Photos by Bill Kendrick


The 'Product Information' section of our massive 'Free Stuff' collection.


The 'Magazines' section of 'Free Stuff.'


We still have lots of left-over IBM/Linux posters...


'Classes and Conferences' stuff, including tons of LinuxWorld Expo passes.


A giant 'Sharp Zaurus' sign Bill Kendrick got for his Zaurus talk at SVLUG. Proudly shown above a collection of Zaurus pamphlets.


Lots and lots of catalogs.


Over a dozen books were raffled away at this meeting! Thanks to O'Reilly and Associates, and Nerdbooks.com (of Roseville, CA) for the books!


Matt won a book for guessing what percentage of users said they'd license Linux from Sco.


Pete Salzman, who is moving to New York next month, was handed control of the meeting, for old time's sake. We'll miss him!


Over 50 people showed up for Seth's talk. (Partially thanks to the recent plugs by Richard Lowenberg of the Davis Community Network, and Andy Jones, host of 'Dr. Andy's Poetry & Technology Hour' on KDVS radio.)


More of the crowd...


Anonymous raffle winner #1!


Lee Welter, looking like he's deciding to take ALL of the books!


Dmitriy Ivanov, pondering which title to grab.


Mark Kim, constant LUGOD raffle winner. (Hmm)


Anonymous raffle winner #2!


Rhonda Bailey picking out a book.


Ryan Castelluci...


Marc Hasbrouck looks for a worthy title.

Darrell wins a book.


Anonymous winner #3!


A visitor from SacLUG wins!


Bill Kendrick, photographing the meeting, takes a shot of himself winning the last book.


Emily Stumpf and Kevin Murakoshi quietly play a game of Go during the meeting.


Seth is one of the lead developers of the LNX-BBC rescue system (formerly the Linuxcare Bootable Business Card). He forgot to bring copies, but passed one around for people to look at, and promised to mail us a bunch.


Seth Schoen, starting his talk.


More Seth.


More Seth.


Dmitriy Ivanov shows off his amusingly-titled LinuxWorld pass.


Ryan Castelluci and Hans Uhlig 'freak out' for the camera at the Crepe Bistro. (Kevin Murakoshi seen on the left - not freaking out.)
