Subject: [nylug-announce] NYLUG Workshop: An introduction to RPMs, Friday 11/14 @ 6:15pm
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2003 20:04:46 -0500

PLEASE NOTE:
   This event is at the World Financial Center Winter Garden, meeting up
   at the corner of Park Place and Broadway. NOT at IBM. 

WHAT ?
  An introduction to RPMs.  Specifically discussion will focus around
  learning how to *create* RPMs.  We are all aware of the power the RPM
  packaging system has.  Surprisingly, tapping the power of RPM is quite
  *easy*.  This, in turn allows for endless possibilities.  By creating
  your own RPMs, you may customize software to your desire, provide
  updates that your distribution has yet to provide (new Gaim all the
  time! no waiting!), and have the ability to support your distribution
  to the end of time (Red Hat Linux will ever die!).

WHO ?
  Sunny Dubey will be the speaker.  If you wish to speak as well, simply
  email him! (See below)

CONTACT ?
  Sunny Dubey:  sdubey at nylug dot org
