[TriLUG] October 9th Meeting - Linux at NASA

[Alan Porter]

October 9th Meeting - Linux at NASA

Robert Singleterry, a researcher from NASA Langley Research Center will
be speaking on his discovery of open source software in his quest to
study space radiation.

Robert will discuss the trials and tribulations of a Student / GPC / EI
International / Grad Student / ANL-W / NASA engineer, and his trip from
sole source software to the open source world. There were mountains to
climb, holes to watch out for, and eventually smooth sailing ahead for
this engineer's usage of open source software at NASA, all while doing
his real job of space radiation research.

Robert will share his experiences of sole source and open source
software, and how the two interact with each other. And he will describe
the environments in which he made the open source transition, which
range from a single work laptop to high performance computing clusters.
