Subject: [UKUUG-Announce] UKUUG -  "Linux Desktop talk 26/07/2007" [sic]
Date: Fri, 7 Sep 2007 11:55:19 +0100
Organization: UKUUG
List-Id: "Announcements from the UKUUG. No membership needed"

Michael Meeks - Distinguished Engineer at Novell
- ------------------------------------------------------
"The Linux Desktop, present and future"
- ------------------------------------------------------
A light-hearted look at the desktop, from past to present,
to Novell's role, and vision.  Michael will prod some of the
new toys coming into the desktop, from promising technologies
to curvaceous applications, and meditate on the wonders of
our new on-line world.

Michael will shamelessly plug whatever project is interesting
today, and attempt to wildly extrapolate the near future,
for people's amusement - to rob Gascoigne: "I never predict
anything, and I never will!".

Michael is a Christian and enthusiastic believer in Free
software.  He very much enjoys working for Novell where as a
member of the Desktop research team he has worked on desktop
infrastructure and applications, particularly the CORBA, Bonobo,
Nautilus and accessibility, amongst other interesting things.

He now works full time leading the OpenOffice.org team.
Prior to this he worked for Quantel gaining expertise in real
time AV editing and playback achieved with high performance
focused hardware / software solutions.
