Re: Next Meeting November 18th, NOT the 11th.

by Joshua Stone

Hey Tim, We're good to go! I've reserved the conference room at the Hudon public library for the following times: Nov 18 @ 7:00PM - 8:30PM Dec 9 @ 7:00PM - 8:30PM I figured it'd be best to reserve the room for the December meeting just in case we decide to meet in-person again for the holidays. If we decide on a different venue, then I can free up that time slot. If anyone still needs to figure out parking, there are multiple options available with the library parking lot being the most convenient: https://www.discoverhudson.org/plan-your-visit/ - Josh On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 12:01 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Joshua, > > Please reserve a conference room for us at the Hudson Public Library. > > Chuck, an exploration of how Intel secreted minix into everybody's cpu's > would be a great talk! > > Tim. > > On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 11:16 AM Chuck Anderson via WLUG < > wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > >> Happy Birthday Tim! >> >> I think we should do a talk on MINIX.

Joshua, Please reserve a conference room for us at the Hudson Public Library. Chuck, an exploration of how Intel secreted minix into everybody's cpu's would be a great talk! Tim.

Happy Birthday Tim! I hope you have an awesome time celebrating with your family! I agree, the Hudson Public Library worked well last time, and I'd be happy to reserve the conference room again if that's cool with folks. We should also have more options for eating afterwards as well now that restaurants have expanded their business hours: https://www.discoverhudson.org/taste/ - Josh On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 9:00 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > 0.

0. Thanks for the birthday wishes! My wife has pointed out that I've been involved in WLUG for more than half my adult life at this point! 1. As for the dinner location, I have no idea, it's a surprise! 2. I'm totally down for having an in person meeting, we'd just have to find a venue. The Hudson library worked really well, I'd be cool for that, of other places are more central to others, we can figure something out. Please propose locations and we'll figure out what works. I'm also not opposed to having a rotating set of locations as long as it doesn't become too confusing. 3. TrueNas Scale does look cool. There's talk of putting gluster on to of ZFS for scale out storage, which slightly distresses me. I played with gluster back in the day and was rather unimpressed with it, maybe it's matured a bit) but last week poking at FreeBSD on a VM got me thinking about TrueNAS and it's partner project TrueNAS Scale (which is a debian based version of TrueNAS that supports containers, KVM, etc. 4. I was given a Raspberry Pi Zero as a gift. Apparently there's a tiny unix you can run on it! Later, Tim.
