New York {Open}Solaris User Group - NYCOSUG 
As previously announced, the New York {Open}Solaris Community User Group will be holding its August meeting on our regular last Thursday of the month on 8/27/2009
At this meeting, we will be joined by Elizabeth Matthis, a linguist and a long-time contributor to the OpenOffice.org team from Germany. She has been with the original product team that had been acquired by Sun (i.e. the product that became StarOffice and had later been opensourced into the OpenOffice project). She will give us an update on what's happening in the OpenOffice community space, what she's been working on in terms of improving user experience and what Project Renaissance is all about. She has been a member of the Star/OpenOffice.org engineering team in Germany for the past 10+ years and continues to be an active contributor to the OpenOffice.org productivity suite.
OpenOffice is a free open source productivity suite that is compatible with Microsoft Office but runs on many more platforms, including MacOS, various Linux distributions, Solaris, etc. More details about OpenOffice can be seen here
We will also be giving out OpenSolaris 2009.06 media, swag and raffle off 2 "Pro OpenSolaris" books that have been signed by their authors. Additionally, an iPod nano with "OpenSolaris" branding will be part of the raffle.
[Please RSVP by 8/27 11am , so we have an approximate count and your name is registered with the building's security in the lobby]
We'll get started with refreshments @ 6:00pm.
