<DIV>Nice idea :D<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Given
that we'll have some linux pcs on the spot, we could do live demonstrations
instead of just presentation slides, will be even more interesting :)<BR><BR>1
idea for a speech that can be done:<BR>"Linux vs Windows as a server system"
(benchmarks,performance comparisons,etc.) (could be stripped down into
subcategories "IIS vs nginx/apache", "samba vs windows file sharing","ssh vs
telnet", etc. ,well the idea is just to show that linux is way better than
windows in terms of performance/security :D<BR><BR>if we are targeting desktop
users we could do the same comparisons, Windows UI vs different linux UIs,open
office vs ms word,etc. <BR><BR>i don't know if it's appropriate including
windows in a topic, just a suggestion..<BR><BR>Shaan<BR><BR>

Derrier and we both believe that it's<BR>high time we increase our action in
Mauritius. We have been talking of<BR>organising a conference for a long time
so let's do it!<BR><BR>I propose the following:<BR><BR> Name:
"LinuxConf Mauritius" or "OpenSource Conference Mauritius"<BR><BR>
Date: Saturday 3 July 2010 (in 44 days) from 10:00 -
16:00<BR><BR> Venue: At the University of Mauritius (I have a lot
of contacts<BR>there and the place is, ahem, interesting from a communication
point<BR>of view. To all ex-UoM students: what is the ideal place?
The<BR>Burrenchobay Hall? Lecture Theatre 1 or 2?)<BR><BR>
Format: 6 x 45 minutes presentations on various (not necessarily<BR>geeky)
topics. The presentations will be done by anyone interested but<BR>I think we
need to have a screening panel. In parallel, we could have<BR>a few (nice
looking) PCs with Linux preinstalled so that people can
do<BR>things...<BR><BR> Sponsors: I think we should have sponsors
(in fact, my company<BR>Knowledge Seven Ltd is willing to be one of them) as
this will allow<BR>us to cover the costs (rent for the venue, payment for the
Internet<BR>connection, posters, ads in newspapers, etc.)<BR><BR>
Organisers: The LUGM Board -- I propose that the Board meets as<BR>soon as
possible (Selven, can you arrange that?) to discuss the<BR>important matter,
to give deadlines and to allocate responsibilities.<BR><BR>What do you
think?<BR><BR>Avinash<BR><BR><BR>--<BR><A href="mailto:avinash@noulakaz.net"

(230) 493-9394<BR><BR>Those who fail to understand C++ are doomed to
reimplement it. Better.
