Tim,
The meeting announcement I sent to the IEEE members (see below) included the wrong room number. I cannot notify them before the meeting of the typo that was in the announcement.
Tomorrow I will be in Boston all day at a VMware vForum conference that ends at 4-5 o'clock and can't be sure I will get to WPI before 7pm. Is there some way you can put up some signage on Washburn doors indicating the correct room number? I don't know how many, or if, any IEEE members will attend but the meeting's topic should be of interest to some of them.
Thanks,
Al

IEEE Meeting Announcement:
Container Technologies When: Thursday, September 15th, 2016 Time: 7 to 9 pm Where: WPI, Washburn Labs, Room 232
This Worcester County Section Computer Society Chapter and the Worcester Linux User Group (WLUG) joint meeting will introduce and discuss software container technologies. The presentation will introduce and consider application containerization and container orchestration including some comparisons between current platforms (Docker, etc).
Over the past couple of years container technologies have become an increasingly popular and important virtualization alternative. Consequently, software developers involved with web based and mobile application development, and "microservices" in general, are being expected to understand container technologies, and how to containerize their applications and manage a containerized environment. By packaging microservices in containers the applications can, if required, be portable across all the physical, virtual, and cloud environments, increasing agility and efficiency, and greatly accelerate time to market.
The meeting's presentation, by William Temple, will consider, with an emphasis on the Docker/OCI and the Kubernetes orchestration stack: - 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.)
The meeting presenter is William Temple, a Senior Computer Science major at WPI who has spent the last two summers working on container technologies at Red Hat under the Project Atomic/OpenShift banners.
The meeting will be held on the WPI campus in Washburn Labs, Room 232. The meeting will start at 7:00 PM and should end by 9:00. Reservations are not required. For last minute meeting information check the WLUG web site: http://www.wlug.org
If you are not familiar with the WPI campus, a map is at http://www.wpi.edu/about/visitors/campusmap.html [1]
After the meeting, attendees usually go out for pizza.
If you have any questions you can contact Al Reinhart at AlReinhart@ieee.org

Good Catch! It is room 323! I'll fix the mail!

Here are the vitals: Location: Washburn Labs Rm 232 @7pm
Diane, who works in Washburn, thinks that there is no Rm 232, but 323 is a big room. I don't know, but somebody might double-check the number. If you can't find 232, look for 323.
