WLUG Meeting Sept. 15th, 2016 @7PM Topic: Docker!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We have a WLUG meeting on Sept. 15th at 7PM! Here are the vitals: Location: Washburn Labs Rm 232 @7pm Speaker: William Temple Topic: Container technologies... The speaker for this meeting is William Temple. Here's what he recently posted to the list (if you didn't already see it) Thanks for inviting me to give a talk on containers this Thursday. I'm a Senior at WPI and spent the last two summers working on container technologies at Red Hat under the Project Atomic/OpenShift banners. If you all are interested, topics for discussion could be: - Containers 101: Introduction & Motivations - Container Technologies -- docker -- Open Containers Initiative -- LXC, rkt, and others - Container Implementation -- namespaces -- cgroups -- security implications, comparison to Virtual Machines - Containers in Production (Kubernetes, etc.) - Containers in Consumer Environments (Flatpak, Snappy, etc.) If there are any other container-related topics you'd like to hear about, please just let me know and I can work them in. I'm mostly familiar with the Docker/OCI & Kubernetes orchestration stack, so I won't be able to go into technical details about other systems, but can give an overview if someone else wants to get into the weeds about any other container systems. I'd like to thank Logan for getting this organized and for William for being accomidating of our location and schedule change. As always, there will be refreshments and snacks and we'll head to Tech Pizza afterwards! See ya there!

He said it's Thursday Sept 15th!!!! (see Subject:) I assume it 7:00pm, since the whole point of changing the date was because we didn't want to change the time. I thought you must be behind in reading, but now see that the location was not specified. No doubt that will be determined shortly.

There seem to be a several WLUG people who know a lot about this, but there are also those of us who first heard of it a few weeks ago. Please don't let it turn into an insider discussion of marketing buzzwords. (1) What goes into a container? (2) What can I now do with a full container that Kernighan and Ritchie couldn't do in 1976 with a Unix process? (3) etc. -- Keith

Tim, Let me know as soon as you determine the time and location and I will send a meeting announcement to the IEEE Worcester Section. I suspect Friday is the latest that I can receive the information and still get a message sent out in time for the meeting.

MAJOR PLAN CHANGE!!! Meeting moved to Thursday Sept 15th!!!!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, WPI's scheduling software decided that 8:30pm was close enough to 7pm... We're going to move the meeting to the 15th, so we can have a) a better choice of meeting rooms b) a more acceptable meeting time!! The topic is still going to be Docker, only now a week later! I'm still confirming with Will, but I figure it's better to get this out now then wait. Sorry for all the confusion. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] Meeting this Thu?

by Christopher Thompson

BTW, I see an earlier offer from Logan that his roommate William Temple might give a talk on containers. I'd personally be interested in that, particularly if it gets into LXC or, say, the oft-underlying technology of cgroups. --Chris On 09/05/2016 05:55 PM, Christopher Thompson wrote: > Hi All! > > Been a good while since I've been able to come along, but I have a > possible opportunity to ride along there with a new friend.
