Oolite Talk

Post by PhantorGorth »

Hi,

I am giving a talk titled "Oolite: A Fun way to Get into FOSS" tonight at my local Linux Users Group here in Edinburgh (EdLUG).

Assuming it goes well I will be posting my presentation here for people to look at and use.

Please note I have borrowed a set of screenshots from the BB for my talk.

8) 8) 8)
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Sometimes the term FLOSS (Free, Libre Open Source Software) is used to emphasise that Free means free as in beer and Libre for free as in freedom.

Unfortunately I lost lots of FOSS/LUG credentials as I had to borrow a laptop off work to do the talk (not having one of my own) which was a Windows 7 laptop! :oops:
