Ian Murdock to share at National University Singapore The Singapore User Groups is certainly excited to have Ian in Singapore, even it's only for less than a day.

One of his appointment to share with NUS students. We email 4000 computer science students, so hopefully a good number turned up.

Instead of talking Indiana, we decided to choose a topic that is more appropriate to the audience (most of them probably don't even know Solaris well).

Here is the content of the email invitation:

You are cordially invited to join Ian Murdock as he shares with us his journey from pursuing a Computer Science Degree in Purdue University, founding of the Debian project, and his becoming one of the most prominent and respected member of the open source community.
Ian will also share with us his insights into what lies ahead for Linux and OpenSolaris.

I think it's a great topic, and I hope it will appeal to the students (under-grad and post-grad).

Sun Marketing has been a great help. Our partner Zara Technology will also be helping tomorrow.
