I would suggest that one of the links be www.linuxtoday.com. This is a
comprehensive wire of all opensource news, articles and opinion as they are
published and will make your presentation timely and up-to-date.
As preparatory reading, I would recommend:
OpenSources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution, edited by Chris
DiBona, et al., O'Reilly, 1999.
Open Source: The Unauthorized White Papers, Donald K. Rosenberg, M&T Books,
2000.
These are books that will make valuable additions to students' libraries.
Web sites:
www.gnu.org
www.opensource.org
These are really everything you need.
