Presenter: Josh (Yoda) Cowles

Blurb: Enter the exciting world of software and media licensing, including the Richard Stallman personality cult, the ostensible license-agnosticism of Linus Torvalds, the legal innovations of Lawrence Lessig, and what it all means for YOU.

This is meant to be a somewhat interesting introduction to/history of this style of licensing. It is not meant to be a highly technical discussion of caselaw - though if anyone is interested in a particular technical application or aspect of licensing, please feel free to e-mail me before the meeting and I will do my best to address it. jmcowles AT gmail DOT com

Presenter: James Leinweber, WI State Lab of Hygiene

Blurb: Have you ever needed to compile something from other people's source code? Wondered what to do with an RPM or Debian source package? Wanted to dip a first toe into that ocean of open source? We'll talk about finding source code, unpacking it, building it, installing it, and managing it. No programming knowledge is necessary. This is a hobbyist level introductory talk; professional software developers typically already know most or all of this.
