[SGVLUG] SGVLUG 7/14: P2P and the World of Tomorrow

[Lan Dang]

Hi all,

Next Thursday is our monthly SGVLUG meeting.


Remember -- dinner at 7pm, presentation at 8pm. Parking can be annoying around that hour so come a little early.   Additionally, our usual server, Margo, will not be there, so things will be less smooth than usual.  It seems advisable to show up a little early to set up the room in case it's not configured correctly.

TOPIC: P2P and the World of TomorrowPRESENTER: Ray S
LOCATION: Du-Par's Restaurant and Bakery

214 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA

ABSTRACT:


The P2P and the World of Tomorrow presentation will address a brief history on the development on P2P software technology, applications and implementations by the end user. Applications such as Audio Galaxy, Napster, Direct Connect, Gnutella, Freenet, eDonkey2000, Kazaa, Morpheus, BitTorrent and Soulseek will be discussed in the presentation. End user usage patterns based on net cultural behavioral norms will be addressed as well as the development of conflict as result of practicing such norms on a end user case-by-case basis. Media attention and changes in policies of governance in relation to P2P technology and usage are topics that will be touched on in the presentation. New changes in P2P technology being made to maneuver difficulties that have arisen from changes in governance policies are addressed later in the presentation. The presentation's conclusion addresses technological responsibility and safety practices the audience can use to prevent themselves from becoming a marginalized end user as in the cases discussed earlier in the presentation.
