Re: [OSSG - Committee Forum] Meeting topics for the 2005 OSSG calendar

[garylloyd]

		  Suggested topics:


  
    Open Source Licenses and their implications for organisations
using OSS - I met a lawyer at our first meeting who is happy to do this
one
  
  
    Software patents: for good or ill - debate with opposing views
  

I asked for suggestions today at the UKUUG committee meeting and they
suggested:


  Software Quality in Open Source Source projects - potential joint
meeting with Software Quality SG in Southampton
  
    Security
  
  Collaborative development in Open Source projects and lessons
learned - potential joing meeting with other SG but not sure which one
as they seem to overlap


I suggest we pick a set out dates and try to fit our speakers and
premises to fit them - maybe a little movement if necessary. I'm a bit
concerned that June would be three months since our last meeting and
would land the next one in the middle of the holiday season. I wonder
if we could squeeze two in at the end of May and June respectively,
skip July August and then do early September, October November.
