Re: [Wlug] Dec Meeting announcement / linux-raid problem

by Eric Martin

I have backups of some stuff but I have a program that isn't great about writing stuff properly so I wanted to see if I could get more. If I can't it's ok, the backups will suffice. I was just hoping for more :) The replacement is on it's way so this is a moot point pretty fast.

Sounds like a great idea! We've been getting more into it for some group projects here over the last few months, and would love to hear more about it.

Hey Gang, We've got a meeting today on the 10th. Long time member Eric Martin is going to be hosting a key signing! Location: WPI Rec Center (RC61) "Class of '61 room" (Top Floor) http://maps.wpi.edu/map/?id=609&mrkIid=65287 Date & Time: Nov. 10th @ 7pm Excerpt from Eric: Hey all, Sorry for the (amazingly) late details on this. I will be hosting a key signing party tomorrow for WLUG. What is a key signing party you ask? A key signing party is where people get together in the real world and verify each other's identities so we may communicate securely in the digital world. *What do I need to do beforehand* Before the party, please email me your *FULL* PGP KeyID (gpg --fingerprint ${EMAIL} ) gpg --fingerprint ejmartin2(a)wpi.edu pub 4096R/C704B30F 2013-06-29 [expires: 2017-09-22] Key fingerprint = C74F 1EBF 2E80 7984 8CB5 064E BF17 D34C C704 B30F uid [ultimate] Eric J.

Please also send your key to If you aren't able to send me this, please bring 10-20 copies of your full fingerprint to hand out to people. * If you do not have a key already, *you can create one. There are plenty of GUI tools for Windows, Mac and Linux, I prefer the CLI though. *gpg --gen-key* will get you started. I prefer RSA keys 4096 bits long, but you can do otherwise. Do not use anything under 2048 bits in length. *What do I need to bring* 1. Yourself 2. A copy of your key's fingerprint to confirm the copy we'll be distributing 3. A government issued photo ID You can find details at http://wlug.org/keysigning/ (just send the keys to eric.joshua.martin(a)gmail.com) If you come out to dinner tomorrow, ask me about RAID 6 arrays losing 4 drives at a time ;) As usual Snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll be heading down to Tech Pizza to keep the nerdiness at full power. Thanks, Tim.

Re: [Wlug] Canceled due to weather: WLUG meeting Wed 1/12/2011

by Theo Van Dinter

Yeah, it was somewhere between 2-3' of snow. It even has it's own Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool's_Day_Blizzard And it occurred to me right before finding that page that it was 1997, not 1996. :( I can remember watching the snow from Fuller Apartments, and I wasn't living there in April 1996.

WPI ACM Installfest

by Billy Hnath

Hi all, Sorry to say that I wont be able to make the meeting tonight because I have class, but I figured I would talk to you all in email so you may be able to discuss this tonight. I am the ACM president at WPI and on October 2nd we are having an Installfest starting at 7pm in Fuller Labs. I am in the process of getting some speakers from various linux distros and O'Reilly for a panel discussion/Q&A session and afterwords we will have an installfest in one of the labs. If anyone here is interesting in attending or even better interested in talking/volunteering to help with the Install that would be much appreciated. You can reach me by email (bill.hnath(a)gmail.com) with any questions. Thanks for your time and have a great meeting tonight, --Billy -- William R.
