[Debian-au] July DebSIG

[Craige McWhirter]

When: 
        Wednesday, July 21, 7:00pm - 8:00pm 
Where: 
        James Squire Brewery
        
This month, Andrew Cowie will be discussing what Debian developers can
learn from the successes of Gentoo. 

* Andrew just returned another one of his romps-around-the-world. This
one included LinuxTag in Germany and GUADEC in Norway, and so will also
share some of the views about Gentoo and Debian that he heard in
conversation with European hackers.

* Despite the topic, Andrew is //not// anti-Debian - he's been using it
for over 7 years. Rather, his aim is for the distributions, especially
the community ones, to learn from each other so that the Linux ecosystem
as a whole continues to thrive. A little co-operation, rather than
religious hysteria. What a thought!

* An article on the unusual aspects which set Gentoo apart (and are the
technical basis of Andrew's talk) will be appearing in a forthcoming
issue of Linux Journal.

Along with the usual free-form discussions / debates that will precede
and follow his talk, food, drink and internet access are available and
people generally start wandering in from 18:30 for a good 'ol chin wag.
