[18:51:07] <pieter2627> ^^ that for Microsoft [18:51:12] <gremble> FOSS with the opening of stuff like .Net Core earlier this year [18:51:37] <inetpro> sounds like old spinning tactics to me [18:51:57] <pieter2627> Dr Leti Kleyn from UP highlighted why research should be more open and accessible [18:52:16] <pieter2627> Aslam Raffee, the former CIO of the Department of Science and Technology, explained how the copyright amendment bill might go against OSS contribution in SA [18:52:42] <pieter2627> Shahn van Zyl mentioned how a company called LSD runs assessments for public companies to help them switch over to FOSS [18:53:01] <pieter2627> Tim Haak showed how to use docker and gave a few tips for new and advance users [18:53:14] <pieter2627> Henti Smith explained how Bacula, a backup suite, works and highlighted its features [18:53:30] <pieter2627> Nevar Fourie how digital contracts can be created using Ethereum - lents somewhat from bitCoin but is for where two items/entities are transfered between parties in a fool proof and open manner [18:53:37] <pieter2627> almost done...

[18:57:40] <pieter2627> i would guess 60... depending on how many were behind me [18:57:42] <theblazehen> Maybe ~50 to ~70? [18:57:47] <theblazehen> yeah [18:58:08] <pieter2627> 60 might be overstated also [18:58:19] <gremble> The turn-out wasn't very good [18:58:24] <theblazehen> Yeah :/ [18:58:28] <gremble> We should work on marketing I think [18:58:29] <inetpro> hmm... [18:58:36] <theblazehen> Pretty much no one did key signing [18:58:46] <pieter2627> there were train problems as well... some arrived late [18:58:50] <inetpro> more than 50 is not bad though [18:58:52] <theblazehen> Just me, and charl Le Roux, the organiser [18:59:25] <gremble> Needs more advertising [18:59:33] <inetpro> clearly we have work to do for the next one :-) [19:00:17] * inetpro wondering how we can get more people to come [19:00:23] <pieter2627> anyone have anything to raise for other events on the agenda? [19:00:24] <Kilos> media [19:00:43] <Kilos> tswane tv and news papers [19:00:49] <Kilos> and fb [19:01:03] <inetpro> Kilos: it was advertised on fb [19:01:11] <pieter2627> or whatever your media of choice is... [19:01:33] <Kilos> ok [19:02:19] <pieter2627> if each one those a little bit of what he/she can then is will add up i think [19:02:37] <Kilos> yip [19:02:48] <pieter2627> so no news for the installfests in cpt?

[19:04:40] <inetpro> pieter2627: did the arts and culture guys talk about the DASA event coming in October? [19:04:44] <gremble> Either TuksLUG or TshwaneLUG. We'll do both. Karl suggested that I link up with him [19:05:25] <inetpro> Inaugural meeting of Drupal users in Government and NGO sector http://www.meetup.com/Drupal-Pretoria-Arcadia-NGO-gov [19:05:37] <pieter2627> Kilos: does getting involved mean taking an interest in their events?

[18:57:47] <theblazehen> yeah [18:58:08] <pieter2627> 60 might be overstated also [18:58:19] <gremble> The turn-out wasn't very good [18:58:24] <theblazehen> Yeah :/ [18:58:28] <gremble> We should work on marketing I think [18:58:29] <inetpro> hmm...
