Topic:  The technical meeting will feature:

SCO versus Linux (and BSD)

IP attorney Douglas Steele will talk about SCO lawsuit claiming
ownership of Linux (and probably BSD).  Beyond their claims for code
ownership, SCO also wants the court to void the General Public License
(GPL).  If SCO wins, the free/open source software ecosystem dies.

Douglas Steele, an Associate at Hunter Hale International, is a member
of the New York bar, TLUG and is also a contributor to XPde, a free
software project.
