Belated announcement
by James Gray
After a recent wlug meeting (I think it was December?) I mentioned that my
wife and I were expecting a child. Tim asked me to send an announcement to
the list. (So this announcement is not completely off topic.) Below is my
belated announcement regarding my son's birth. Since I use mostly Linux and
my wife Mac OS. We'll have to wait and see which one he picks up first.
But at least it won't be Windows. :-)
James and Heather Gray are the proud parents of Owen James born 10:26
p.m. December 31st, weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces and 22 inches long.
Many fireworks were launched in his honor :-) All is well with Owen,
Heather and James.

Ceph
by Jason Couture
Has anyone here used ceph? I'm debating using it in a production cluster
and would like input, alternatives, etc.
Requirements: High availability, scales dynamically, fault tolerant, NO
CODE CHANGES ( must appear as a posix compatible file system and be able to
be mounted as such) nodes must be able to be added to the cluster at will.
Prefer multi to multi copy for recovery (removed slow disk recovery
bottleneck)

Announce: March WLUG Meeting & Northeast Linux Fest
by Chuck Anderson
Hi folks,
NEXT month, we will have our regularly scheduled WLUG meeting:
Wednesday, March 14, 7:00PM
but most likely in a slightly different location. Our current meeting
room will be in the process of being annexed by the dining hall, so
we'll most likely meet in our old/previous meeting room on the
opposite side of the same building.
ALSO, the Northeast Linux Fest is happening again this year:
Saturday, March 17, 9:00AM
at Worcester State University. I encourage you to register for free
here:

Thanks, and see you next month!
