Re: [PLUG] May Speakers?

["Paul L. Snyder" <plsnyder@drexel.edu>]

Jay,

Welcome, indeed.  It's definitely good to get participation from users
of what might otherwise be perceived as non-majority distros/options to
keep the feedback loops from spiraling down too tight.

Pulp sounds like a good topic, and interest is being expressed...would
you like to select an upcoming meeting date to do a presentation?

Paul

Many of these Ubuntu users are sys admins for Red Hat systems at their day jobs and perhaps almost as many are heavily involved in programming.

Despite our affiliation with Red Hat (I work there, as does the main team itself), it's still a full open source project with a reasonably growing community outside of Red Hat.

I get the impression that this group is largely Ubuntu based, but I may be wrong about that. That said, while Pulp's version 1 release was entirely based around RPM concepts, in version 2 I've rearchitected it to support pluggable content types for non-RPM content, DEB packages being one of the first on my radar.
