Greetings All,
You are invited to join us at the next GatorLUG meeting at Mobiquity in Gainesville, Florida at 6pm on Wednesday evening (11/18). More information about the current meeting with a map link can be found at http://gatorlug.org. More information about GatorLUG can be found at http://www.gatorlug.org/about.
We'll have a brief 10 minute segment at the start of this meeting for news (Linux, Open Source, or otherwise). **Please note that because this meeting is in a panel/discussion format, we won't be doing lightning talks for the November meeting.
The main topic for the night will be a panel discussion on contributing to Free and/or Open Source Software. We are thrilled to have the following guest panelists:
- Matt Stauffer, @stauffermatt

Matt hosts the Five-Minute Geek Show and co-host The Laravel Podcast. He's also an occasional guest on Dev Discussions podcast. Matt loves to talk and blog about development, how to do your best work, how to treat other people well and how to do good in general--regardless of what it is you do. He specializes in Laravel and PHP, responsive design, and JavaScript and CSS/Sass/LESS. He's also addicted to Rapid Application Development and helping people get their ideas off the ground quickly. - Dave Stanton, @gotoplanb
