Is GitLab the same as git itself? I don't know much about this, but might be able to keep my mouth shut long enough to learn. In other words, if you do a presentation, then Yes, I'll listen, but if you lead a discussion, then you lead from before. -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] Next WLUG Meeting: Keysigning Party 9/11/2013

by Eric Martin

Just a reminder that this week I'll be giving a talk on PGP and running a key signing. Please upload your public key to the keyring before the meeting to register for the key signing. It is possible to participate without registering but it's a lot easier if you register. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Re: Ideas for the next WLUG meeting

by Tim Keller

Josh, I think this would be an awesome talk. I'm particularly interested in the /sysroot upgrading process. I like the idea of having an immutable root that you can unwind things if they go horribly wrong. I'm game for having this as our Dec. topic! Thanks, Tim.

Re: Zeek - from yesterday's meeting

by John Stoffel

Guys, Now that I have zeek up and running... what's the best tool/process for viewing the data? Looking at the hourly emailed logs is sorta interesting, but honestly not a great way to see trends over time. I've looked over the zeek.org website, and there's no real discussion there on how to summarize and get a good high level view of what's going on. Even just a daily report would be better, I think. So what I'm doing is setting up my core switch to mirror all the traffic between the switch and the router, while I also have the zeek box on another port on the switch for management. This seems to be working well so far, it's seeing all my traffic to/from the internet and the various devices connected. Cheers, John

RE: [Wlug] WLUG's membership in BUG

by Marc Hughes

Sounds to me like all we really got was a single new member out of last years membership. I say skip the membership. If we're itching to spend the money, throw it into an ad in a college newspaper or two. Otherwise let's hoard our cash reserves for a hostile takeover of microsoft. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Andy Stewart [mailto:andystewart@attbi.com] Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 9:21 PM To: Worcester Linux Users' Group Subject: [Wlug] WLUG's membership in BUG Hi everybody, Last year around this time, an organization was formed called the Boston User Groups (http://www.bostonusergroups.com) WLUG was invited to participate. As a group, we decided to pay our $50/year membership fee to participate for the first year. Some of you might remember this meeting, where the general consensus was "OK, let's try it for a year and see how it goes". Our yearly membership dues are being requested by BUG. I had some questions about whether or not WLUG should continue its participation in BUG. I had a discussion with the WLUG members who attended the BBQ. Several of those people thought that the discussion should take place among the entire WLUG membership. The timing of BUG events is such that I'd like to settle this issue before our next WLUG meeting (ideally within the next week). Take a look at the BUG webpage as you consider my comments and those of other WLUG members. Please take note of the other groups who are current BUG members. There are 3 Linux groups, a Palm group, a Mac group, and some others, not to mention the wide variety of Microsoft related user groups. Given that Microsoft is a documented monopoly (a court said that, not just me), this distribution of member groups should not be a surprise to anybody. Some of the commentary below assumes familiarity with the contents of the BUG website. My initial question (if I recall correctly) was to wonder about what tangible benefit WLUG received for its $50 expenditure. a) BUG has a link to the WLUG website on its website b) WLUG had a table at last year's MegaMeeting and gave out literature advertising the group, its meetings, etc. c) I met some leaders of other regional user groups while eating free pizza, drinking free soda, and touring the US DataCenters facility in Marlboro, MA. d) I know that we got at least one new WLUG member from the MegaMeeting. Perhaps there were others, or folks who shortly thereafter joined the mailing list, but I have no way to know for sure. The BUG website also has a calendar of group activities onto which WLUG's activities were never placed. The calendar is designed for groups who meet, say, every 2nd Thursday of the month. WLUG's schedule is not as regular as that, and hence our information was not put onto the calendar after two requests by me. Rick Zach is the current BUG president. He recently sent an e-mail to the user group leaders (attached) wherein he describes some of the benefits of BUG membership. I also have personally spoken to Rick to make sure my information about BUG is correct so that I can present it fairly to the WLUG membership. My question to WLUG is: Do we as a group wish to continue our participation in BUG for $50/year ? Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
