Last Meeting ("Programming Red Flags") Summary + What's Next for TelFOSS?

Hi all!

The "Programming Red Flags" meeting had a high attendance, and was generally 
very successful. Thanks to all the people who came and special thanks to Yaron 
for volunteering to give such a great talk. Yaron told me he is now working on 
an updated version of his slides, which he'll send to me for putting on the 
TelFOSS site, so expect it there soon.

He had to cover some of his points more briefly due to lack of time, but it 
was still nice. 

So what's next? There's going to be a large void until August Penguin (
http://august.penguin.org.il/ ) in August, so I'd like to fill it with 
something. Does anyone volunteer to give a presentation?

There are some ideas here:

* http://wiki.osdc.org.il/index.php/OSDClub

* http://wiki.perl.org.il/index.php/Ideas_for_Presentations

As a fallback, I can volunteer to give a presentation about CMake:

* http://www.cmake.org/

* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMake

Some of you may recall my project about the GNU Autotools:

http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/Autotools/

Well, I've recently switched wholesale to CMake and didn't look back. I never 
really liked GNU Autohell and now that I found a likeable better alternative, 
I don't have to use it.

Of course, I'm not a good presenter, so it's only really a fall-back. If 
someone is interested in preparing the presentation with me, and then giving 
it instead of me, then let me know now.

Regards,

	Shlomi Fish
