HI all,
Please check the recently updated WLUG website for the meeting schedule for
the next 12 months or so.
Note that we'll be having our annual WLUG BBQ at Doug Waud's house on
Wednesday, July 21 (weather permitting). More details forthcoming.
I'm still seeing a volunteer to run the June meeting with some topic of
interest. Otherwise, I'll have to cram and give a presentation about the
bootsplash software, which would be tough for me to demo since VMware doesn't
work on SuSE 9.1 (yet).
See ya later,
Andy

Someone posted some information on here about contract web work for Stow, Ma,
and I was curious if whoever it was knew if the position had been filled, and
if not, could they pass along that email to send resumes to to me? I seemed to
have misplaced the email.
Thanks,
Chuck

HI everybody,
The summer months always make it tough to draw people to a WLUG meeting, and
announcing a meeting without sufficient notice makes it worse. Thus, I'll
start the monthly troll for topics now in the hope that we can nail down this
month's topic and advertise the meeting so that we'll have a pretty good
turnout.
If you have topics on which you would like to address WLUG, please let me
know.
FYI: I'm fabricating the schedule for upcoming meetings. It should be posted
shortly.
FYI: I'm currently negotiating the time and place for the annual WLUG BBQ to
be held in July. More news coming soon. Stay tuned!
Andy

Our school uses commercial library automation software. We would like to convert the database to open source. Anyone have experience doing so?
Thanks,

Nope. However, I can envision how you might go about it.
I did a quick look on freshmeat.net and found this application:
http://ola.sourceforge.net/ <http://ola.sourceforge.net/> which looks like
it might suite your needs perfectly. No sense reinventing the wheel...
When you say "open source" I'm taking a broad shot in the dark that you want
to setup some sort of linux based web front end with a mysql or postgres
backend?
The first big issue your going to have to tackle is getting the data out of
the existing database. I highly doubt that this proprietary software will
let you do something like export your whole catalog to a comma delimited
file. If it can, then you'd be all set. However, it probably should allow
you to run a report of all the volumes you've got in your library. Either
way, you'll need to get your data into some sort of normalized form that you
could use to populate your new database.
Hope this helps...
Tim.

There's a post on Slashdot talking about LTSP... (Yeah, I posted it... <g>)
The link is
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/05/22/223425&&mode=thread&tid=126&tid=
137&tid=163&tid=187
There's one comment that really drives the point home: #9227112 ...
Anyway, I know that there was a recent WLUG meeting about LTSP, so I thought
this might be of interest.

I'm not much of a CD burner. I've used xcdroast to copy CD's, but I'm
having problems getting it to use files from my hard drive. In fact,
I can't even get it to look at my hard drive. What's the trick?
Thanks,
Bill
