[volunteers] Requesting Speaker for Silicon Valley Linux User Group (SVLUG) Monthly Meeting

[Gwyn Murray]

Thinking more about this, I would love to have an open dialogue rather than to be a "speaker".  If we could line up a few discussion points beforehand, perhaps we could discuss?  I don't pretend to be more of an expert than most OSS developers, and I do think discussions are really helpful for all.  I may have some questions too!

One that I can think of now, "If you develop a piece of software using OSS tools, what can you do with the product?" We have been having some discussion, to put it mildly, about what exactly is OSS?

One of our speakers last night made an eloquent plea along the lines of "Can't we all just get along?" on the subject of OSS licensing because these legal constructs are forcing some projects to replicate work accomplished years ago.
