                           Friday 28th July 2000
                           
                University of Technology, Sydney, Room 1.406

         This month is marmalade-packed with interesting... stuff!


The Usual Suspects
------------------

 * Q&A - "What has Linux done for/to me lately?"

 * Conrad's Linux News & Discussion

 * Jason's Cool Linux Software Review


An Australian SourceForge with Roland Turner
--------------------------------------------

Raz is setting up a SourceForge site in Sydney. He will explain why he's
doing it, how he's doing it, what it entails and issue a call for volunteers
for various aspects.


LDAP for Beginners with Anand Kumria
------------------------------------

What is LDAP? Why do you need it? How do you set it up? Who has done it
before and lived to tell the tale? Anand has, and he's not afraid to tell us
all about it.


SLUG Religious Wars
-------------------

This months topic: "That Whitespace is for Weenies" - Perl vs. Python

Teams have not yet been finalised - if you'd like to be involved, please
email jdub@xxxxxxxxxxx


TeX & Literate Programming with Michael Lake
--------------------------------------------

If you haven't overheard Mike talking about TeX and Literate Programming
over dinner at the Boiled Television Entrails Restaurant (not it's real
name), you haven't experienced one of the finer attractions that SLUG
offers. Looking for a wider audience than SLUG dinner-goers, Mike brings
Knuth's crazy plot to make software documentation simpler and infallible
(noweb) and Knuth's other crazy plot to make geeks respect typography (TeX)
to everyone. Mike will post his own (probably more accurate) abstract to the
list soon.


                                All Welcome!

        Please see http://slug.org.au/slugmeet.shtml for directions.

 Some of us go for dinner afterwards, so tell your SO you'll be home late!
