Main Topic: The State of WineOur speaker is: Jeremy White. Jeremy is the founder and CEO of CodeWeavers, the primary corporate supporter of the Wine Project. Wine allows applications written for the Windows (tm) operating system to run (unmodified) on Linux. For those of you stuck in the land of windows, this can be a great way to run your favorite operating system and still be able to run those required applications that normally require a Windows machine. Jeremy has been using Linux since the mid 90's, and involved with the Wine project since the late 90s. He lives in St. Paul, MN, where he spends most of his time goofing with his kids (when he isn't playing World of Warcraft with his wife, that is <grin>). Jeremy will report on the State of Wine. That will include a brief technical overview, an overview of flavors of Wine and how to get them. Then he'll talk about recent progress, where Wine is going, and what it does well right now. And, of course, there will be cool demos. We've asked Jeremy to reserve some time at the end of his talk, to answer questions. He's involved in all kinds of Linux desktop related activities so if you have questions, bring them to the meeting and let's see what Jeremy has to say.Secondary Topic: "Smart Office" PlanningWe'll spend 20-30 minutes planning the December meeting. We're looking for topics and volunteers willing to give a 5-10 minute introduction to the technology that they would use in a Linux/Opensource/freesoftware office infrastructure.
