As always, all interested persons are welcome to attend. This month David Berube will reprise the talk he gave last month to SLUG: "Free (as in speech) doesn't mean without profit; you can make money off open source software. Superior quality, open software can provide a huge advantage over commercial software with a hefty license fees, and businesses are beginning to realize that. By using open source software to provide more value to businesses, and charging accordingly, it's possible for open source enthusiasts to make a bundle while still contributing to the open source community." Dinner @ 18:00ish at Martha's (1rst floor, typically in the back, right-hand side).. For information on this and other GNHLUG activities visit: http://www.gnhlug.org -dl -- David A.
