Thanks for a great meeting last night!
As usual at WLUG, we went off on a tangent and it was amazing.. What started out as a side conversation about storage technologies turned into 1.5 hour conversation about LVM / ZFS on Linux / Ceph / GlusterFS / Synology / FreeNAS / NetAPP and the general philosophies around managing scalable storage at home and in the enterprise! This conversation continued at the Boynton and was great fun! Next meeting is the 10th of October! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
Shoot! I didn't have the meeting on my calendar! I'll add the next one now. -- Rich On Fri, Sep 13, 2019 at 1:09 PM Tim Keller via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org> wrote:

It was a really fun meeting, bummer we didn't have the CAD discussion, but happy about the storage discussion.
After I got into a gun fight with the police it was difficult to pay attention. They kept talking about tera-bytes, but I am still a bit future-shocked from when my ex-new-boss told me that the programs I would be paid to write had to work with a giga-byte of important data...and when I actually bought a mega-byte for my own home. Real programmers code for 64K.
Subject: [WLUG] Becoming a brick-and-mortar Linux vendor From: Joshua Stone via WLUG <wlug@lists.wlug.org>
I've been wondering about with Linux as a desktop platform if one were to run a business around selling machines that're built with it in mind.
I had a similar idea about 20 years ago. I rented a store-front in south-east Worcester and did it for a few years. I didn't make much money, but I didn't lose much either. The remaining fragments of that business exist as a web page: http://www.free-comp-shop.com/ I used to have a book about starting a business in Massachusetts, maybe I can find it. It's probably far out of date. You need to know the laws about collecting sales tax and reporting and remitting to the state. -- Keith Wright, Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop
