      Presentation by Bart Decrem:
      "Firefox and the Linux Desktop"
      ======================================================

      Bart Decrem has contributed tremdously to Linux on the Desktop
      through his work at companies such as Eazel and Hancom Linux, as
      well as through his work with the GNOME and Mozilla Foundations.
      At the Mozilla Foundation Bart oversaw marketing and business
      affairs for the Foundation, including the "Spread Firefox"
      campaign which has been instrumental in the rapid growth of the
      Firefox browser.

      In April Bart started a new company called Round Two whose mission
      is to provide "a new crop of products and services that will
      enhance your Firefox experience".  Bart's talk will cover the
      rapid growth of Firefox, it's implications for the growth of
      Desktop Linux, and Round Two's plans for enhancing the Firefox
      experience.


      Members' Minutes
      ================

      Members will have an opportunity to take a few minutes to...

          * Describe their latest Linux discovery
          * Ask questions and get help from other members

      You can just stand up and talk, or give a short demo or
