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

After the meeting, attendees usually go out for pizza.
