MAJOR PLAN CHANGE!!! Meeting moved to Thursday Sept 15th!!!!
by Tim Keller 06 Sep '16

06 Sep '16

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".

Hello WLUG! 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. Best, ~Will Temple -- William Temple '17 - B.Sc.

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.

I'm hearing a consensus for pushing the BBQ off till Sept. or Oct... Which means we're still going to have a meeting this Thursday! We've got room 129 in the campus center reserved. I'll put out a legitimate announcement. Thanks, Tim. On Mon, Aug 15, 2016 at 11:19 AM, Jon "maddog" Hall < jon.maddog.hall(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I think a fall BBQ is a good idea.

Hi, I think a fall BBQ is a good idea. If it is a little cool you can put on a sweatshirt or sweater. If it is too hot you can only take off so much, and even less legally. md On Sun, Aug 14, 2016 at 11:31 AM, Eric Martin <eric.joshua.martin(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I'm busy the 18th, so I don't have much of an opinion.

I'm busy the 18th, so I don't have much of an opinion. Granted I think one at WPI isn't a bad idea, nor is postponing.
