EAST side plug meeting tonight at MCC

[PLUG Announcements]

TOPIC: What's new in Ubuntu

ABSTRACT
Ubuntu has been the most popular Desktop Linux download on the planet 
for 6 years.  They produce a new release every 6 months.  The latest was 
Ubuntu 11.10 (meaning 2011 and in the 10th month).  This release saw 
some major content changes as well as significant progress on their new 
Unity GUI.  This talk will describe many of those changes.

BIO
Larry Thiel started playing with computers in 1964.  Studying them in 
college in those days earned one a minor in Mathematics but there were 
no degree programs relating to computers and nothing was even called 
Computer Science.  He went on to works in programming with small 
companies and ended up managing a C/C++ hosted on HP servers in 14 
states which ran 24/7 with maximum allowed downtimes of less than 15 
minutes per server.


I (Brian) will also continue my mini presentations on various multimedia 
software.
Tonights edition will be on GIMP using layers and wavelet decompose to 
do various operations to an image.
