Gave a presentation at ATTC about open source, Unix, BSD, and Linux. I included several examples; they were particularily interested in VNC. They asked a lot of questions; it was only supposed to be one hour but it lasted over an hour and a half. One person asked about Exchange-based group calendaring; I don't know much about it and I could only suggest Evolution. (Later I sent some emails about this, and received some info. * I need to make a webpage about this.)

Gave a one-hour presentation that introduced open source, Unix, BSD, Linux and shared a few examples. I used NetBSD as my main system. The attendees were impressed/amazed with VNC -- I showed a few examples on a Windows box, and under NetBSD and Debian. I also showed a few window managers. (I started X on different consoles using different "servers"; I had KDE on one, and switched between Windowmaker and Blackbox on the other.)
