[wplug-plan] Speaker on Non-Roman Scripts

[Greg Simkins]

WPLUG Plan List:

My friend Ken Wienecke is a programmer that works with SIL in their 
Non-Roman Script Initiative (http://scripts.sil.org).  Their mission is 
to create fonts for 600 languages that do not use the Roman script we 
are accustomed to.  The NRSI is working with Mark Shuttleworth to make 
ubuntu the most massively multi-lingual distro of Linux.  Ken is a good 
speaker and I think would make a nice presentation at some WPLUG meeting 
if there is interest.  He is based in Waxhaw North Carolina, a 9 hour 
drive, so it would take a little coordination with other speaking 
opportunities.  Let me know if I should pursue a date with Ken.
