[KLUG Members] KLUG Meeting Notes for 07/08/2003

[Tony Gettig]

First, I want to say a massive thank you to Ralph for the outstanding job week 
after week after week of putting the weekly meeting notes out. Casual readers 
of the weekly summary should read a little further down the page because there 
is always a lot of great info there. Hats off to Ralph!

Now THIS story really grabbed my attention. I have a very good friend that is 
really into CG animation. I've been talking to him about Linux in film and 
animation using LInux. Especially nifty is this comment at the end of the 
article:

"You hear a lot about Linux not being ready to work on desktops," said HP's 
Jeff Wood, director of product marketing for personal workstations. "Well, 
here we have the perfect example of how Linux is more than ready for the 
desktop -- hundreds of animators successfully used Linux to create a film 
right from their desktops."
