Speaker: Eric Jeschke, Software Engineer, Subaru Telescope, Hilo, HI 

Subaru Telescope is a world class 8.2m telescope situated at the summit
of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. The observatory (like many other
institutions) is transitioning from costly proprietary systems to ones
based on commodity+FOSS software. Eric will discuss the use of FOSS
technologies at Subaru and other big island telescopes. He will also
talk a little bit about the use of open source at big island schools.

past he has also taught computer science at several universities, and
been self-employed as a consultant. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science
from Indiana University. Eric started the Big Island Linux Users Group
in 2001. BILUG has been active in promoting the use of open source
software, and in helping various schools make use of FOSS technologies.
