Professional networking for Bioinformatics Linux Support resource

by Kathleen McTeague

Greetings, I'm reaching out to do some professional networking to see if I can send out a unique job posting to the Worcester Linux User Group. We are looking for a seasoned Linux Admin for a unique role to work for the vaccine division of a local pharmaceutical company based here in Cambridge, MA. This position is a long-term contract approved through the end of this year with the likelihood of extending long-term, possibly perm. The role will have 'one foot' in IS, and the other in the Bioinformatics group. The focus of the role is administering a Linux cluster, supporting research scientists with some data modeling, supporting various relational databases etc. The Bioinformatics group will be moving to Cambridge so they will be replacing/upgrading the existing Linux cluster. The ideal candidate will have prior experience supporting several PhD level scientists with computational backgrounds, virology/biology as well as many other disciplines. It is a very visible role in that there is a huge initiative to strengthen the IS support specifically for the Bioinformatics organization. I've attached the job description and look forward to hearing your thoughts and interest level in exploring this opportunity. Thanks in advance for your time and if you know of anyone who might be interested, I'm available to chat live any day with some notice.

Nope, but if you do find such a group, please share. The only real interesting projects I'm aware of, are mostly the ones I've read about in Linux Journal. But anyway, here's a list of URLs that you may or may not have already scoped out.: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ (Open Source Computer Vision) http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/ (Linux Based robotics API / server) and of course wikipedia has a decent list of open source robotics related projects to start with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_robotics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_robotics>also, Linux Jounral had an articel recently about using player on the coroware corobot (not a cheap platform).

Re: [Wlug] PC to Home Stereo Solution

by Lee Keyser-Allen

Sonos! Full disclosure: I work for them :) The truth is that Sonos is far and away the best solution if you want multi-room ... if you just want point-to-point and you're hacker-friendly (which is probably the case, as you're on this list) then squeezebox is cheaper, fine for a single connection, and allows you to hack their box. If you want a full treatise on why and where Sonos is better, I'm more than happy to oblige. If you're really nice to me, I may be able to give you a coveted friends-and-family coupon that can get you a discount :) Cheers, Lee On Tue, Jul 6, 2010 at 2:39 PM, Brett Russ <bruss(a)alum.wpi.edu> wrote: > On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 7:07 PM, Gary Hanley <gary(a)hanley.net> wrote: > > Thanks guys.

Announce: WLUG Meeting Thursday July 8 7PM

by Chuck Anderson

Hi folks, Our next WLUG meeting is scheduled to be held on Thursday, July 8 at 7:00 PM in Morgan Hall at the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. This is an informal open meeting. Anyone who is interested in a certain topic, feel free to come to the meeting and discuss it. There has been a lot of talk about streaming music to stereo systems, so I suggest we talk about that. We'll also discuss the WLUG BBQ which is on for August! We'll go out for pizza afterwards. The meeting room is in WPI's Morgan Hall (building 'H' on the campus map [1]), down the hallway to the right of the dining hall entrance.

I ended up buying a cheap netbook from woot.com to plug into my stereo. I put eeebuntu on it which gives me access to all of the various Linux audio players and well as Flash and Firefox. I can play Flash audio online or stream from the iTunes collection on the Mac in the other room.

Re: [Wlug] PC to Home Stereo Solution

by Mike Leo

I have one of these and while the idea is great, the implementation sucks. http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/reviews/article.php/3391201/Linksys-Wireless-B-M… You might be looking for something like that. On a similar (but side) note: I just picked up a Tivo DVR do-dad/thingy which is really quite awesome. Not only can I do typical DVR like stuff to my Comcast TV signal, I can watch On-demand NetFlix, Blockbuster and Amazon movies, connect to YouTube and with pyTivo running on my Ubuntu server, I can watch all my "backed up" movies, view my pictures and even listen to my mp3 collection. It is really pretty cool. Might not be what you are looking for but maybe it's more?

You can get FM transmitters that go into the line out of an audio card. That would be the cheapest way. On Jul 3, 2010, at 7:07 PM, Gary Hanley <gary(a)hanley.net> wrote: > Thanks guys.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but to play music from computer to stereo, you just need the right combination of cables and mini-jack to RCA converter, and go from the headphone/speaker jack on the computer to some input of the stereo. (I'm using Tape In) Use your favorite software mixer to make sure you have the right channels unmuted and turned up. If you want to play stuff on the stereo and record it on the computer, it gets a little more complicated, but it's still pretty easy. Tape Out to Mic, and record with Audacity or Ardour or something else that I don't know. (Maybe Gramofile if you like CLI.)

I might not understand exactly what you mean, but wouldn't MPD do the trick? What can your radio understand?

PC to Home Stereo Solution

Is it me or is there no good solution to streaming your OGG and FLAC music files to your home stereo from Linux. Even the Windows solutions seem sparse and are usually proprietary. I have wanted to do this for a long time and every time I start googling for a solution I come up empty. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would appreciate your comments.
