The April meeting of CINLUG, the Central Indiana Linux Users' Group,
is scheduled for 6:00PM on Wednesday, April 10, 2019.  The meeting is
being held at the Glendale Mall branch of the Indianapolis Public
Library (IndyPL) - 6101 N. Keystone Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46220.

Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting. Fedora Program Manager, Ben
Cotton, will be giving a talk entitled Fedora and the Future of
Operating Systems.

Operating systems are not boring, but they’re no longer the end of the
Linux development pipeline. As interest shifts up the stack to
containers and other abstraction technologies, what are operating
system makers to do? This talk describes how the Fedora Project views
the future of the Linux distribution, why it’s still relevant, and how
we’re going to get there. The operating system may not get the
attention it used to, but it still plays an important role in
providing the foundation that modern applications are built on.

Fedora Program Manager, Ben Cotton, is a meteorologist by training,
but weather makes a great hobby. Ben works as a Fedora Program Manager
at Red Hat. He co-founded a local open source Meetup group, and is a
member of the Open Source Initiative and a supporter of Software
Freedom Conservancy. Find him on Twitter (@FunnelFiasco) or
