May 26th: The Microsoft Anti-Trust Cases

[list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

   May 26th
   The Microsoft Anti-Trust Cases 
   The recent filing of anti-trust actions against Microsoft Corporation
   has interesting implications for the future of the software industry,
   particularly in areas such as open standards. Bob will lead a
   discussion on the legal actions in progress, and help the group
   explore some of the effects of these cases.
   
   Robert Brown is a software developer with over twenty years developing
   applications, programmer tools, and libraries. Currently working as a
   consultant, he has been following the evolving legal issues
   surrounding software and intellectual property for many years. While
   no legal expert, Bob has bumped into legal issues more than once, and
   the topic has more than passing interest to him.

Our meeting place, THIS TUESDAY at 6 PM is:

    Pharmacia and Upjohn (Building 298)
    That's the north-east corner of Portage St. and Bishop Rd.
      (Bishop is the first street that goes from Sprinkle to Portage
       south of the airport)
    Entrances to the parking lot are about 500 feet north (on Portage)
              and 400 feet east (on Bishop) of the intersection.
    There will be specific directions at the front door when you get there,
