[plug] Bernd's "Open Source Glue" presentation: Wednesday

[Alastair Irvine]

Hello everyone.  The time has (almost) finally arrived for Bernd 
Felsche's long-awaited presentation on systems integration:
"Open Source Glue: Using Open Source to Glue Proprietary Systems to
Business Needs".  See http://osdc2006.cgpublisher.com/proposals/38 for 
further details.  An unofficial version of the paper is available at
http://members.iinet.net.au/~innov8ve/Papers/osdcGlue/glueOSDC.pdf

The presentation will be held at 7:30pm* on Wednesday the 15th of 
November.  (Please ensure that you arrive on time if possible, and 
_definitely_ before 7:45; thanks.)  A reminder may also be sent 
closer to the date.

The venue is the ARRC auditorium, which PLUG members will remember 
as being the venue for the iVEC presentation.  The address is:
26 Dick Perry Avenue, Kensington.  (This building is in the Western 
Precinct of Technology Park, nearest the roundabout on Kent St just 
north of Curtin University.)

* In addition, the above event will be preceded by a short talk by 
myself on the Society of Linux Professionals (Western Australia).  
SLPWA is a representative body for people who use Open Source 
solutions in their business, or provide them to others.  Visit 
http://www.slpwa.asn.au/ for further details.  (Interested parties 
should get to the venue by 7pm for this talk.)

I encourage anyone who considers themselves to be an Open Source 
Professional to attend both "halves" of the evening in order to 
help out & be informed by Bernd, and contribute to the future of 
SLPWA.

PS -- As you may have guessed, I have decided to take over the role 
of PLUG seminar co-ordinator.  Therefore I am considering making 
the second Wednesday of each month the date for our regularly 
scheduled seminar.  If you have comments on this (rather than 
Bernd's presentation) please USE A DIFFERENT THREAD.  Ta.
