Here it is: ==================================================================== From: "B. Mitchell Loebel" Subject: Silicon Valley Entrepreneur's Connection - Dec. 11th Meeting Notice Reminder ... This is your notice for the Monday, December 11th (TONIGHT) meeting of the Silicon Valley Entrepreneur's Connection. Please see the attached Acrobat file for additional information including directions to the meeting site (Sun Microsystems, 901 San Antonio Rd., Palo Alto). Important -- please notify us immediately by email if you are unable to read the attachment. BSD OS or Linux ... Which? Why? Not long ago, Microsoft's Windows xx was the OS to beat. Linux successfully stepped up to the plate. Now we hear other voices from within the Open Source community ... more servers are running BSD than Linux and the latest Mac OS is based on BSD! (Which of the several strains of BSD, by the way?) So what did Linux do right and/or what did the BSD community do wrong such that Linux became the perceived leader? We asked John Sokol, CEO, Enumera to help us unscramble the confusion. We asked him to to tell us how he feels that BSD is superior to Linux. We asked him to tell us about the development projects currently in progress and who are the players. John is well qualified to help us ... he wrote some of the important early BSD code. If BSD is truly "one down" in the Open Source community, then it represents an important entrepreneurial opportunity. Let's all find out more. The main meeting starts at 7:30PM (stragglers beware - no entry after 8PM!) and a discussion of member projects currently underway and other issues of interest to entrepreneurs begins at 9:15PM (important business opportunities are often discussed). Adding to your knowledge, planning entry into the field, beginning a new enterprise? This is the meeting! B.
