Hey Everybody, We've got a meeting on Thursday May 18th at 7PM. Location: Higgins Lab (HL) Rm 123 Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Good question! If people have something interesting they'd like to talk about, feel free. I can definitely talk about Linux namespaces and networking namespaces.

Cara, That's good to know. I wonder if there's somewhere else on campus we can meet? I know we've meet up in one of the rooms in the gym building. Tim.

This Thursday (18th May) is Alumni Weekend, so the whole CC is booked out by University Advancement.

I know it works, because I get mail from WLUG and can see the web page. Also I know some people who know some things about it. The Oracle web pages that I have read do not say much about the operating system that is booted in a cloud "instance". What is it an instance of? Do I have to have an installation boot.iso to copy it to the cloud computer? Do they boot an OS before I log in? Do I get a choice? Digital Ocean mentions Debian Linux in the "Self Guided Tour" (some web pages linked together with "Next->" buttons), but on the Oracle web pages, I can't find any mention of any OS, Distribution, or software other that Oracle Database, which is not something I need. I have put some questions about ssh at: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/none/final.html#SSH > This sounds like a good WLUG topic: Getting Started with the Cloud. > How to open a Cloud account, install and manage Linux, IP addresses, > firewall rules, etc. I'd like to see that. Unfortunately, I am unlikely to actually go to WPI. Is there something I can read? Are all "Cloud accounts" about the same? I guess it's been almost two decades since I compiled a kernel to find a bug, but it seems like it all changed overnight. -- Keith

!!! NO WLUG TOMORROW !!! Meeting will be May 17th!

by Tim Keller

I've recently been made aware that this Thursday is commencement. Speaking with Frank, the Trustees have reserved everything. Now knowing this, I'm going to push the meeting off to the 17th. As for a topic, I've got some ideas I'll put in further email. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
