REMINDER: WLUG Meeting Thursday October 11th

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting to be held in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI on Thursday, October 11th at 7:00 PM. On the agenda: 1) A discussion of whether or not WLUG should join the Boston User Groups organization. Check out http://www.bostonusergroups.com for more information. These folks have legally incorporated as an organization to act as an umbrella group for all sorts of computer user groups in / around Boston, southern NH, northern RI, and as far west as Worcester. We have been invited to join, and I recommend that we do so. The initial cost to the group would be $50, which we can easily afford. More on this at the meeting...... 2) Outcome of the most recently held install fest at WPI last week 3) Technical Q/A 4) I'll have 6 or 8 copies of StarOffice 6.0 beta available on CD 5) The last of the giveaways! (I'll get more at the Annual Linux Showcase in Oakland next month). 6) Other topics of interest? If you have a burning desire to address the group, let me know. 7) Update on Lancaster and plan our next trip to that site. FYI: As many of you know, I have been contributing to an open source project called gimp-print. My contribution is as the writer of the users guide. Well, the users guide has been officially released for the first time! Check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print for a really great set of printer drivers (my stuff is in version 4.1.99-b3). Feel free to fire documentation barbs my way. :-) Afterwards, I'm sure we'll take our monthly pilgrimage to the Boynton Restaurant for pizza and beers. All are invited! -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

This is all on me, I got my dates turned around and sent out the wrong email. Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused. Thanks, Tim.

Re: We've got a meeting next week on the 13th!

by Tim Keller

Keith, It wasn't just you. It seems that it maxes out at some low number of users.. why.. worth investigating, but not at the expense of people being able to get into the meeting. Yeah, ARM for linux has been the "hotness" for a while. Pi definitely brought it to the forefront, but now more and more there are viable arm desktops. As for the AI, there are some FOSS solutions out there that are shockingly amazing. "ollama" is just one of them. No need to pay NVidia for AMD for the privilege. Tim.

Next meeting February 9th

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Our next meeting is the 9th! I've been doing some interesting work on the clustering filesystem GFS2 if people would be interested in that... iscsi/iser infiniband using a 100gb file in tmpfs on one machine as a filesystem device on three other machines. So, I can talk cogently about setting up icsi, setting up gfs2 and about tuning such a thing. I also wrote a filesystem testing tool called "death by infinite paper cuts" to iterat I've still got my git methodology slides if people are interested in that as well. I was given a kinect to play with. Though I've got two weeks I might be able to do something interesting with that! Lastly if anybody wants to present on something cool they're working on, let me know! Later, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] another vote for a future meeting topic

by Brian Waite

I could get into this type of meeting. In fact, watching the time it takes to do a Gentoo install vs say Knoppix is prat of the fun. I can also provide some Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 Cds for anyone interested in trying to run Linux on a PPC. I'd like to see how Fedora Core install is progressing these days. I have SUSE 9.1 Pro sitting here that I'd also like to see run, if anyone has some guts and a machine. :) I can even see about bringing along a PC that can use a new install. Also, can the gentoo build work via distcc? I'm wondering if we can leech some cycles opff idle laptops to speed the Gentoo build up. Ahh here it is: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/distcc.xml#bootstrapping The distcc thought might take some coordinatino though. Just some thoughts/ramblings. Brian
