[CLUE-Admin] FW: Tues., July 13 presentation by Marc Rochkind to Denver's CLUE

Tue Jul 6 21:13:54 MDT 2004

Admins:

What are your thoughts on this topic (see forwarded email below)? It sounds
pretty specific but could be of interest. Or do you have other suggestions
for Marc's talk? Marc is the author of "Advanced UNIX Programming". We
probably ought to let him know our thoughts tomorrow, if possible.

Also, I cannot attend Tuesday's meeting and we're still in need of a KISS
presentation.  If anyone has a short topic that you're dying to present,
please let me know.  Otherwise, it sounds like the main speaker may take
long enough to fill most of the meeting time.

Jed, could you go ahead and post that Marc will be the speaker on July 13
and links to information about his book? Anyone wishing to purchase a copy
in advance of the meeting could vist:

Hi David!

A talk I've recently prepared is titled "Application Portability Between
Unix/Linux Versions and the POSIX Standard." It takes about an hour, and
when I gave it about a month ago in Dallas it was very well received.

Should this topic not be ideal (e.g., if you've had something similar
recently), there's time for me to prepare something else. Is there anything
the group would particularly like to hear me speak about?

I'm looking forward to seeing you and your group next Tuesday!

Marc,

The CLUE organization is looking forward to your visit on July 13th.  Our
basic format is to have a KISS (keep it simple...) presentation at about
6:30 followed by announcements at about 7:00 and the main presentation
(yours).  We usually allow about an hour or so for the main presentation,
including questions.  However, we can be somewhat flexible with the
schedule.

Please let me know the topic and title of your presentation.  I would like
to post information on the CLUE site in the next few days, so I would
appreciate your forwarding a short abstract and bio.  

Our meetings are at the Dever Southeast Radisson Hotel--I-225 and Parker Rd.

We can provide a projector for your talk.  Please let me know how else I can
help you with the presentation. 

Thank you for volunteering!

Hello David,

Thanks for the note.  I've copied Marc Rochkind here, so he can correspond
directly with you and the other CLUE board members to confirm details for
his scheduled Tues. 7/13 presentation.
For members who wish to have Marc sign their copy of the book that evening,
they can purchase the book direct from Addison-Wesley or Amazon.  And your
local bookstores should have it also in stock, although there's obviously a
limited number of copies per store.  Please let me know if I can be of any
further assistance, otherwise, I'll let Marc pick it up from here.  Thanks
to all for making this happen.

Heather,

July 13 would work out very well with the CLUE schedule, and we're looking
forward to hearing from Marc.  Attendance at our meetings is variable and
hard to predict; I would guess anywhere from 40-100 attendees.  

I would like to know Marc's topic and approximate length of the
presentation.  Our normal agenda is to have a basic (KISS) session from 6:30
to 7:00, followed by some short announcements and the main presentation.  We
usually allow about an hour or an hour and fifteen minutes for the main
presentation, including questions, and try to wrap the whole show up by
8:30.  We can be somewhat flexible with the schedule if needed.

Please let me know what Marc will need for the presentation (e.g. projector)
and anything else that I can do to help out.

I will be unable to attend the July meeting; however, I'm CCing this to
other CLUE officers who will gladly help with whatever is needed.

Thanks,

David A. Jenne

Hello David,
Per the below, I can't recall if I responded to let you know that Marc
Rochkind would like to accept your offer to be the featured speaker the
evening of Tues., July 13.  Does this work for you?  If so, please let me
know and I'll confirm with Marc.
If you can tell me the expected number of attendees, I might even be able to
come up with a special flyer with a discount for CLUE members-- no promises
as of yet, but I can look into the option.
Best, Heather Fox

Heather,

I am sorry you had trouble getting through on the CLUE site.  In the future,
replying to my email address should work.

I'm familiar with Marc's book; although I have not purchased it yet.  I
think CLUE would certainly be interested in hearing from Marc as a guest
speaker.  Our meetings are scheduled for the evening of the second Tuesday
of each month at the Radisson Hotel, Southeast Denver; right now, all
remaining months in 2004 are open for speaking engagements.

Our main speaker usually begins his presentation around 7:00 and the talks
take 45 minutes to an hour, including questions.

Please let me know which dates would be convenient for Marc.

Thank you for your interest in CLUE

Sincerely,

David Jenne

Hello Dave,
Marc Rochkind, the author of the 1985 classic, "Advanced UNIX Programming",
has just written the long-awaited! Second Edition, which Addison-Wesley will
publish as part of its Professional Computing Series (which also includes
Eric Raymond's book, "The Art of UNIX Programming"), later this month
(around April 23)

Would you be interested in having Rochkind come as a speaker?  The book has
mostly been completely re-written with lots of updates on Linux, Mac OS
X/Darwin. Also, although Rochkind grew up in Bell Labs of the '70s, he's a
big Linux proponent now.

You can learn more here:

Let me know what you think!

Hi Heather,

I'm sorry you had trouble with the web form.  I will ask our web master to
look into it.

You can email the Speaker Coordinator directly at speakers at clue.denver.co.us

Talk to you soon,
Jeff
