Re: Intersection of Open Source and Social Change

by Tim Keller

This is a tangent, but on the same vein. I find myself with my wife and kids at lots of craft fairs, etc. In all cases, the conversation goes something like: "Oh, those earrings.. $12.50 with a card, $10 with cash." I know in all those cases, it's a situation where they're getting boned by a company like Toast or one of these other middleman transaction processors. I think it would be cool if there was a more local option, but offered the same level of ease of use that [insert POS system] I see things like odoo out there, but I don't know how FOSS friendly they are.

Re: Intersection of Open Source and Social Change

Open Source software in general has facilitated a massive transfer of wealth upwards over the past few decades. There are the tools and their histories, and then there are how we want to use them moving forward. We could certainly choose different software than Lemmy though.

He asked which of the following topics people would be interested in: "FreeIPA - I go over problem space and talk about what IPA does and how it solves the problems - about an hour with Q&A. AD [Microsoft Active Directory] integration I can give an overview of the AD integration options and talk about best practices there - about an hour with Q&A. Application integration - is about how to build applications integrated with different authentication methods out of box - 40-50 min with Q&A. I can combine. I also can talk about Kerberos and explain how it works and how it can be used for SSO [Single Sign-On]." I was thinking FreeIPA + Kerberos which would fit nicely into our usual 2 hour meeting slot and provide a nice introduction to the topic, but let me know if the other topics are of more interest.

Re: [Wlug] meeting topic

by Jared Greenwald

Yep, I'm pretty sure that was the graphical installer. Normally, for a stage1 install there is a 60M cd image that boots and has only command-line, but has many drivers that would be needed for a wide range of system installs. This method has an install guide of 7-8 webpages (the handbook) that walk you through everything from installing the basic packages to building a kernel and then setting up grub. The only complicated part is setting the CFLAGS and USE variables. -Jared On 1/31/06, Mike Leo <mleo963(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > I did not try ( or know of) a graphical installer... > > i booted off the "livecd" and walked through the handbook to install....then gave up... > > thanks for the feedback anyway. > > --- Greg Labonte <gbonte(a)WPI.EDU> wrote: > > > Just wondering Mike, Did you try using the Graphical installer for > > Gentoo? > > > > > > > On 1/30/06, Mike Leo <mleo963(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > > >> Am I wrong, or is the gentoo install insanely comlicated? > > >> > > >> Although I did not sit in front of it from start to finish, it > > >> seems like an install takes hours > > >> and hours of work... > > >> > > >> I followed the Handbook (some 80 pages of documentation), which > > >> i'm sure is very accurate and each > > >> step worked as advertised, but in the end it was too much. > > >> > > >> After an install of debian, which takes me less than 20 minutes, > > >> this was too much for my poor > > >> little brain to take, and I eventually gave up. > > >> > > >> In addition to that, I can't for the life of me, get slackware to > > >> consistantly install lilo > > >> correctly during the install. > > >> > > >> Any comments on either of these would be apreciated, however, I am > > >> just writing this to toss my > > >> vote in for a linux install fest as a meeting topic. > > >> > > >> I have no problem bringing in a laptop to show the simple, > > >> eligant, streamlined, 20 minute debian > > >> install, but I would like to also see someone go through a gentoo > > >> install, and assist on a > > >> slackware lilo config...all of which can be done via my laptop if > > >> needed. > > >> > > >> Thanks ! > > >> Mike > > >> _______________________________________________ > > >> Wlug mailing list > > >> Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > > >> http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > > >> > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > Wlug mailing list > > > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > > > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Wlug mailing list > > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug > > > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >
