[OxLUG people are welcome to come to this Compsoc talk.] [If you've been to OxLUG meetings in the Comlab before, note that you need to use a different entrance, and the car park is no longer usable.]
From: Will Thompson president@ox.compsoc.net
On Monday, we have Jon Masters from Red Hat talking about the modular nature of the Linux kernel; in particular, how this helps make porting the kernel to new platforms easy. This should be an accessible talk, despite the subject matter, so don't feel put off if you're unfamiliar with kernel programming and so on.
Venue: Comlab, room 051 Date: Monday 23rd October Time: 20.00
http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?Computing_Laboratory has some information about Comlab (in case you're not familiar with it). There is a door into the basement to the left of the door into the main reception, which we will be using.
Also, some of you might be interested to know that LinuxWorld Expo is in London on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th next week. (In fact, this is why Jon is able to speak to us next week despite living in the US!) I know that a few Compsoccers are going along. It's fairly enterprise-focused (although there is an area of non-corporate stands), but should be fun. Entry is _free_ if you register on the Expo website[0] by midnight _today_, so act quickly! You don't have to go to both days, or all of either day.

(Yay, I've just noticed that the Tux Games people will be there.)
