**We'll be having 2 presentations this month from Ed Nicholson and der.hans.

*Ed Nicholson - Technical Debts and Digital Assets*

*Description*
Exploring the analogy of debt and real world financial obligations, as
a context for a software's or system's life cycle.
Debt and Software are both fundamentally types of Intangible Assets.
This talk is an exploration of how the much older asset class, Debt,
may be usefully applied in understanding the relative newcomers,
Software and Systems.

*About Ed*:
I support Free Software and how people, organizations and populations 
use, create and experience information. I enjoy The Prescott National 
Forest as my "office" and The Valley of The Sun as a home away from 
home. Personal systems run either Fedora, Project Atomic, Android or 
OpenBSD.

*der.hans - Introduction to /etc/alterntives*

*Description*:
/etc/alternatives allows choosing among many programs to provide a 
certain functionality.
For instance, editor can point the locally preferred text editor. 
alternatives will also make sure man-pages also match.
Attendees will learn:
What is /etc/alternatives
Why is /etc/alternatives
How to configure /etc/alternatives
How to use helper scripts

*About der.hans*:
der.hans is a Free Software community veteran, presenter and author. He 
is the founder of the Free Software Stammtisch, BoF organizer for the 
Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) and chairman of the Phoenix Linux 
User Group (PLUG).
As a technology and entrepreneurial veteran, roles have included 
director of engineering, engineering manager, IS manager, system 
administrator, community college instructor, developer and DBA.
