     Presentation by Bart Decrem:
     "Firefox and the Linux Desktop"
     ======================================================

     Bart Decrem has contributed tremdously to Linux on the Desktop
     through his work at companies such as Eazel and Hancom Linux, as
     well as through his work with the GNOME and Mozilla Foundations.
     At the Mozilla Foundation Bart oversaw marketing and business
     affairs for the Foundation, including the "Spread Firefox"
     campaign which has been instrumental in the rapid growth of the
     Firefox browser.

     In April Bart started a new company called Round Two whose mission
     is to provide "a new crop of products and services that will
     enhance your Firefox experience".  Bart's talk will cover the
     rapid growth of Firefox, it's implications for the growth of
     Desktop Linux, and Round Two's plans for enhancing the Firefox
     experience.


     Members' Minutes
     ================

     Members will have an opportunity to take a few minutes to...

         * Describe their latest Linux discovery
         * Ask questions and get help from other members
         * Discuss Linux projects

     You can just stand up and talk, or give a short demo or
     presentation. If you need audio/visual support for your Members'
     Minute, please contact me in advance to arrange for your needs.

     We have a limited number of books courtesy of Prentice-Hall and
     O'Reilly to give away as an added inducement to participate in this
     portion of the meeting.  :-)
