We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month. Come
participate at https://jitsi.decafbad.net/mugmeeting2021.

 Topics Include:

 A Mature Wine 

 Ever thought "I wish there was a clean way to run WIndows software on
a non-Windows machine without requiring a Windows license". If you
have then Wine is a solution. Wine is a compatibility layer for
Windows applications and games to run on Linux and Macintosh systems.
Jeremy will present an update on the current state of Wine.  It will
cover what has changed since his last MUG talk in 2006, and what you
can expect from Wine as a user, and what you can hope for in the
future. Subjects will include Valve's Proton, CodeWeavers CrossOver,
and some ruminations about 15 years of Linux and the fight to run a
Free Software company for an extended period of time. 

 Jeremy White is the founder and CEO of CodeWeavers, Inc., the
corporate sponsor of the open source Wine Project. The Wine project
provides Windows compatibility for UNIX like systems, including Linux,
macOS, and Chrome OS. He has contributed code to many open source
initiatives, including Wine, the Linux kernel, X.Org, the Spice
project, and many others. He served on the formation board for X.Org
and was a founding member of the Linux Desktop Consortium. 


 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
