Hello All,

The next meeting of the Linux Users of Victoria will be held on
Tuesday 5th August.

The talk will be conducted by Sirtaj Kang and the details are:

What:
	The K Desktop Environment - a unified desktop for users of X

Abstract:
	There has been a crying need for a free desktop environment
	that did not bog down existing Linux systems like Motif does. A
	volunteer effort facilitated by the Internet has used the new,
	cross-platform Qt GUI toolkit to provide the free software
	world with a desktop environment that is efficient, cohesive
	and easy to use.

	The talk will cover:
		The motives behind the KDE
		Technical aspects and design decisions
		The current KDE components and applications
		Installation and use of KDE software

When:
	7:00 pm
	Tuesday 5th August

Where:
	room 3.8/3.9 3rd floor of the Centenary Building, Methodist
	Ladies' College in Kew (corner of Glenferrie and Barkers Roads)

Melways ref:    Map 45, E8
