Hi Dick and Larry and everyone,
If there's no presenter scheduled yet for the January 17th meeting, could I give a talk on Conary and rBuilder Online?
Conary is an open source software management and provisioning tool that applies new ideas from distributed configuration management tools such as GNU arch and monotone. Rather than concentrating on separate package files as RPM and dpkg do, Conary uses networked repositories containing a structured version hierarchy of all the files and organized sets of files in a distribution. http://wiki.conary.com/
rBuilder Online is a collaborative development environment that can be used to easily package open source software and produce complete distributions. http://www.rpath.com/
I came to both the September and October BALUG meetings on The Digital Tipping Point and shell programming respectively and found the topics interesting and the audience knowlegeable and enthusiastic about Linux. I'd love to be able to present on these couple of new and exciting technologies that I've worked with the past few months.
Thanks, Xiaowen
