Subject: Space Night @ PLUG on Thurs Oct 8th

PLUG is hosting a panel on Free Software, Open Standards and fun anecdotes for 
space and space travel. The panel will be composed of people who have worked on 
projects for NASA and JPL.

Bio: Austin is the Science Operations Lead for the Mastcam-Z multispectral 
camera system on the upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission. He has developed and 
currently oversees similar operations on both operating Mars rovers, Curiosity 
and Opportunity. This role consists of interacting with the science team, 
supervising instrument operations, software development and systems 
administration. He currently manages about 50 mixed Ubuntu and CentOS machines 
and maintains a number of software projects, some of which are open source.

Bio: Darrin has been developing software since the 80's, currently for 
Limelight Networks, and previously in areas ranging from a NASA space mission 
to finance to 3D modelling. Darrin has been developing for Linux and/or BSD 
since the 90's, and exclusively since 2008.

Please feel free to reply to this message with any questions that you would 
like the panel asked and we will try and work them in.

We go for food/Discussion afterward the meeting to BJs at the nearby mall.
