MEETING NOTICE
==============
Central Ohio Linux Users Group
Date: Saturday, March 26 from 7 PM to 9 PM local

Meeting Presentation
====================
Stoneware's webOS is the next evolution in virtual desktop computing.
For those who are not yet familiar with the growing webOS market, a webOS is
a virtual desktop on the web. It is a simple, less bloated, remotely
accessible operating environment that runs in a browser and is independent
of the underlying operating system. It delivers a rich desktop-like
experience, coupled with various built-in applications.
Not to be confused with a published desktop from a Microsoft Terminal
Server, Citrix Presentation Server, or a virtual desktop from VMWare, webOS
is completely built from web technology and based on AJAX. A single server
can scale to thousands, it requires only an Internet browser (IE, Firefox,
Opera, or Safari), and can be accessed anywhere over the web.

The presentation will cover delivering applications and information through
a Virtual Web Desktops. How Linux can be used, Linux as the backend server
platform and the thin client frontend.

The upcoming meeting is open to the general public, and all with an
interest in Free Software, Open Source, Linux, BSD, Unix, Windows are
invited.

Several members present will be able to verify identities for those
interested in CACert assurance and who have already done the
preparation. Anyone with two forms of government issued identification
(passport, drivers license, military ID, Social Security card...) can
get instant assurance points. See http://www.colug.net/cacert/ for
details, including what preparation applicants need to do _before_ the
meeting.
