[Balug-admin] BALUG talk for January 17th, 2006

[xiaowen]

Hi everyone,

Our next meeting is just a week away now.  Assuming I have all your
permission to give the presentation, should I go ahead and mail out an
announcement/reminder to balug-talk?  Word is, I might have some
goodies to give away too, so should be a fun time!

See you all a week from tomorrow!

> Conary is an open source software management and provisioning tool

> 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.
