It will also include a short demo of my MS-DOS 5.0 environment also (resurrected from tape) the month before I installed Linux for the first time in December 1992.</p> <p>About Russell:</p> <p>I am a person for whom the Year of the Linux Desktop started in 1992 and has continued annually, uninterrupted. I worked for a couple decades in scientific data management and analysis. Since 2005, I have been involved with the Personal Telco Project, a volunteer-based 501c3 non-profit trying to unscrew telecommunications policy in the Portland metropolitan area. I did a short stint in data management for an Oceanographic organization when it was housed at OH&SU. I also volunteer at Portland State Aerospace Society working on their OreSat program. My name, misspelled in glorious circuit board silkscreen, has literally been in orbit for most of the last 2 years. I have done a bunch of PLUG talks over the years.</p> <p>Rules and Requests:</p> <p>Masks are encouraged but not required.</p> <p>PLUG is open to everyone and does not tolerate abusive behavior on its mailing lists or at its meetings</p> <p>Do not leave valuables in your car</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://pdxlinux.org/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
