"Linux does Windows: The Best of Both Worlds!"
Warren Luebkeman, President Resara Networks
Keene, NH

Running Linux, open source software solutions and Windows within a  
business infrastructure offers the best of all worlds. This month at  
UVCIA, Warren Luebkeman will demonstrate new Plug-and-Play, thin  
client Linux deployment technology, which makes installation and  
administration of Linux PCs extremely easy.

The presentation will touch on three major emerging technologies:  
Linux, thin clients, and open source alternatives to Office and  
Exchange. Windows integration with Linux will be the core focus with  
discussion around running Windows based applications along side of  
Linux applications, integration with Active Directory and LDAP, and  
so much more. Bring your business questions and be ready!


8:35
"Non-compete and Non-disclosure Agreements"
Sean Gorman, Attorney
Sheehan Phinney Bass & Green, Lebanon, NH

How (and How Well) Do They Work? Businesses are narrowly limited in  
their ability to obtain and enforce noncompetition agreements, but it  
can be done. Nondisclosure agreements obligate signers to keep a  
company's secrets. Both are important for employers, employees, and  
consultants. Both can be tricky and difficult to enforce.

Attorney Sean Gorman will discuss the law and best practices in  
negotiating, drafting, and enforcing such agreements, including the  
impact of a May 2005 decision of the New Hampshire Supreme Court.


9:00
The Magic Minute (New York version) where attendees get to introduce  
themselves and state what products, services, or skills they offer  
or, are seeking.
