Hi everyone,

The Waikato Linux Users Group are pleased to announce that Philip Hazel,

will be presenting an open talk to its members and guests on Tuesday,
1st February.

The talk is entitled "Exim and PCRE: How free software hijacked my life"
[1].  Philip will present a non-technical talk on the history of the
Exim and PCRE software projects, how they got started, where they are
now, and where they are currently going.

The meeting will start at 7:30pm, in the LitB[2] building at Waikato
University in Hamilton.  All are welcome, although non members are
encouraged to

Thanks to Jamie Curtis for arranging this meeting and the NZNOG
conference for bringing Philip to NZ.
