Fw: [UKUUG-Announce] UKUUG - "Linux Desktop talk 26/07/2007"

[Thomas Wood <thos gnome org>]

Subject line is wrong, it is actually taking place this month
(September)!

Anyone who saw Michael's talks at Guadec will know he can be quite
entertaining. 

Perhaps this would be an ideal opportunity to go to the pub afterwards
and celebrate GNOME's 10th birthday? I've put this in my diary and I
know a few other GNOMErs are too.

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.
