Linux - you use it everyday -original message- Subject: Re: [SLUG] Presentations for multi-media BOF From: Marghanita da Cruz <marghan...@ramin.com.au> Date: 06/04/2010 3:33 pm James/Patrick, Are you talking about the SLUG meeting on April 30? There are two topics, which I could speak about briefly, but on which I would also like to hear from others. a) Prompted by the question about MPEG2 decoders - a short talk/discussion/overview about Video Codecs and the free/licensed issues for Linux/Browsers and consumer cam corders. b) Power Management in Linux - I am looking at power use in general but could give a 15min talk on what I discover about power management on the the Kogan Netbook (running gOS - linux) if there is interest. I would love to hear a deep tech talk on the power management modules in linux and maybe something on servers. To prompt other speakers who may have something to share on this topic, I came across this article April 2010 issue of ACM mag : Recipe for efficiency: principles of power-aware computing. <http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/1730000/1721673/p60-ranganathan.html?> Marghanita -- Marghanita da Cruz http://ramin.com.au Tel: 0414-869202 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
