Great meeting last night!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! Last night we had a great meeting. Logan did a kick ass job on the Asterisks talk! Asterisks is cool than I thought and we all learned quite a bit. For those who were unable to attend, we had a surprise guest! Maddog showed up and brought along a "Banana Pi" and a "Adapteva Parallela". He also offered in the future to speak about the projects that he's currently working on. I was going to speak next month on STEM/Linux software/toys but I'm going to instead step aside for Maddog if it all works out. Also, we're going to work on getting the guy who runs Adapteva to come do a talk about the Parallela platform and his manycore architecture, etc. Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Reminder! Meeting Sept. 14th, 2017! Topic: Ceph!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, This is a reminder that we've got a meeting on Thursday! Location: WPI Campus Center Rm 331. Time: 7pm Topic: Ceph. Presenters: Logan Brown and Tim Keller Ceph is a scalable storage system that provides object, block and file system services. You can grow it dynamically across multiple machines for fault tolerance and performance. Logan and I have both been experimenting with Ceph. I've been playing with in my data center and Logan has gone full production at home with it as a NAS. We'll be able to talk about it's design philosophy, expandability, fault tolerance and management. As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off to Tech Pizza to continue the conversation. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

HI Everybody, The next WLUG meeting will be held this coming Wednesday, February 19th, 2003 in a different location. The meeting room will be AK233 (Atwater Kent room 233). Please refer to the Wlug Meetings...Directions link for directions to this room. The building is right next to Salisbury Labs on the WPI campus. Please note the earlier start time of 6:00 PM ! At this meeting, we'll be having a LAN party ! This is WLUG's first LAN party so I'm curious to see what people bring. You'll need to bring your network gear (hubs, switches, cables) and a laptop or desktop machine with networking enabled. We'll interconnect all of the machines to create one big WLUG LAN. I'll bring my PLIP cable for the masochists in the crowd. This network most likely will *not* have access to the Internet (but we'll see what we can do). On this LAN, all sorts of activities could take place, such as multiplayer games, network security scans, attempts to (non-destructively!) crack another persons system to teach them about their security weaknesses, and more. Its really up to all of you and your imaginations as to what we can do with this type of setup. I'll even entertain doing a couple of network based Linux installations if folks want that. If people need help configuring their systems for networking, that help will be available. I'll also be available to do a demonstration of VNC for those interested. The possibilities are really endless. Due to the amount of time to setup such a LAN and still have time to have fun with it, I've extended the time of the WLUG meeting from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (note earlier start time!). Have a lot of fun, and I'll see you all on Wednesday.

No problem. Jitsi was having some weird issue and we ended up with a broken camera. I ended up doing my slideshow on k8s networking. Sorry about the vlug element not working. Tim.

Re: Reminder!!! *NO* Meeting tomorrow

John Stoffel via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> writes: > Keith, > I hope you're staying cool! >> I feel lumpy; like a cucumber. Lumpy and cool as a cucumber. At a previous meeting you showed a black box about the size of a thick book and called it a "desktop computer". I thought a desktop computer was one too big to be a "laptop", but your black box is smaller than my laptop. I forgot the name of that black box. What is it? I suppose it is a "desktop" because it needs a separate screen and keyboard, but what connectors are there? I have several big flat screens that are attached to former computers by odd plugs, and PS/2 keyboards, RJ-45 ethernet plugs. I got the ethernet working with Spectrum internet, but am running out of working computers that plug into it. -- Keith

You might find the WLUG slides for the Oct 11 2002 meeting helpful as background. While I was dealing with a compact flash reader and USB, you may still find the basic ritual informative. It certainly will not take long to skim. :-) (Just go to the WLUG website, click the "here" under "Past meeting Information" on the main page, and then the "view" under the third meeting from the top.) doug

Hey Richard, Here are the full directions: 3 Washington St Hudson, MA 01749 Next to the library is the Hudson Fire Department, and in between them is the entrance to a municipal parking lot which is free to use.
