[Speakers] dLoo @ SVLUG?

[Alex Ledin]

	Greetings! I ran into Marc at the last EBLUG meeting, where we gave a 
presentation. He said that I should write this address to arrange a 
speaking engagement at SVLUG if we're interested. We are - we'd be 
delighted to speak at SVLUG. A blurb explaining what we're about is below, 
please let us know if there's any more information that you need about us.	
									Cheers, Alex Ledin

For the past two years our company, dLoo, has been developing a new way of 
creating and sharing open source software. The result of our work is a 
project called SpringBox.

Before the Web, information was trapped in proprietary databases and 
couldn't be linked together. The Web overthrew that model, and replaced it 
with a model in which information was public and linkable. These two traits 
made the value of the information available online grow exponentially.

Today, open source software is trapped on individual computers and can't be 
linked together. SpringBox makes it possible to build networks of software 
out of distributed units of code that live on the Internet. With SpringBox, 
open source developers can post code publicly, like web pages, and other 
developers can improve and extend their code by linking to it.

We believe SpringBox has the potential to do for open source software what 
the Web did for online information. Our presentation will discuss 
SpringBox, this new unit of code (the Symbol) and the way that Symbols can 
be used to construct an extensible Linux software environments.
