“Why Open Source Is Better”
by Ryan Curtin
August 31st 2011, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456
So you’ve heard about open-source software before but you don’t know much about it. Or maybe you are familiar with it, but because you learned about it through a crazy bearded zealot, you aren’t interested. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate the superiority of the open-source software model and display the numerous frustrating drawbacks of the closed-source model, mainly by example. Because of the nature of what will be presented, the talk will also serve as a good introduction to how to use Linux. Fair coverage will also be given to the sometimes entertaining problems with open-source software. In the end, my hope is that you will see the nature of what will be presented, the talk will also serve as a good introduction to how to use Linux. Fair coverage will also be given to the sometimes entertaining problems with open-source software. In the end, my hope is that you will see the presentation should also give you more anti-corporation zealot fodder. Fun for the whole family!

“Putting Your Life on the Command Line”
by Chad Kersey
March 9th, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456
About the Talk
Even the wizened among casual computer users tend to see the command shell as a
relic of the distant past, but among power users, especially in the Linux world,
it never went out of style. The truth is that the level of programmability
offered by the command shell far surpasses that provided by today’s graphical
shells. For this reason alone, the shell, in one form or another, with its
command line interface will endure for some time to come. This presentation will
provide an intermediate introduction to the interactive use of Bourne-style
shells and a range of commonly-available system tools whose presence makes the
shell useful. We will close with a round-table where other users can demo their
own favorite utilities and techniques.
