                             LINUX USERS GROUP 
                                       
   The May PLUG meeting topic is "Creative Chaos, Why the Linux world
   works."  PLUG will be the first to hear about the paper Eric Raymond
   will be presenting in Barvia at the end of May.  

   Why is Linux world not flying apart in confusion?  Eric's development
   of fetchmail has been a deliberate test of some surprising theories
   about software engineering.   

   His analysis of the "cathedral" model of FSF and its imitators versus
   the "bazaar" model of the Linux world led to "Linus's Law" which
   pertains to "Given enough beta testers, all bugs are shallow".
