Greg I am actually replying to your last msg. But I could not find your personal email and I figure it is just fine to reply to the list because I would want to do this anyways.
As you recall we brought in Richard for a talk at the UofC. This is taped. I have the copies here. We have rights to copy and Richard wants us to do it. This was with CUUG, not CLUG but we are sister organizations. I think what we should all do (both groups) as a project is put the talk onto a DVD and offer it to the Calgary Public Library. At the same time we should organise a section of books and DVDs on all aspects of the programming and of the building of operating systems. I have found the CPL has castrated their computers. I can't even send an email to myself. But I know ways around this. CUUG has a virtual library. I think this is a very good idea. What I think we should do is organise some DVDs and put in a "technology center" and spot this into the CPL system. Some people browse. So maybe we put in place holders so that if the DVD or book is borrowed then there is the place holder in place so browsers know it exists and they can ask for it. I say: No holds barred. I have been in contact with the CPL and asked for the Fynmam lectures on physics as well. The person at the CPL that I talked to can be found here: gerry.burger-martind...@calgarypubliclibrary.com But this was only for the Feynman lectures on physics. If we ask for a meter of shelf space then we will need to fill it and maintain it. I think we can do this. Also I think this works 100% with the CUUG library system. Because there... we have some books. They can be anywhere on anyone's bookshelf. If someone else wants to borrow then they go to the virtual Library admin and make arrangements and the book moves. Everyone knows where the books are. It doesn't matter where the book lives. It just matters that everyone knows. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
