Re: [Wlug] Meeting on the 14th?

by David Glaser

How about the 13th. I have an openstack meeting on the 14th. Also, python for sysadmins sounds interesting. Openstack is written in Python. At first, I judged Python to be a scripting language but after some digging, it has some very usefull features for writing large systems- for example, name scoping. -David On 08/04/2014 05:03 PM, Tim Keller wrote: > By my reckoning the next meeting is the 14th? > > If nobody has a topic idea I'd be willing to do a quick talk on > "Python for sysadmins". > > Later, > Tim. > > -- > I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their > constituents as "consumers". > > > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

REMINDER: Upcoming Meeting

by Andy Stewart

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, Sorry for the earlier test...Comcast was bouncing my emails to the list for some reason. That problem seems to have cleared since my test went through. We're scheduled to have a WLUG meeting on Thursday, February 15th, 2007 at 7:00 PM at WPI in the Access Grid Room. We don't have a definite topic, nor do we have anybody who has volunteered to be the speaker. Any takers? After the meeting, we'll head out for pizza at the Tech Pizza restaurant on Highland Street. Come one, come all, see ya there!

Meeting this week, May 22nd at 7pm! Topic: Mini PC!

by Tim Keller

Hey Everybody! We've got a meeting this week! Date: May 22nd Time: 7PM Location: Technocopia Virtual Location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Topic: Mini-PC.Long time WLUG member John Stoffel has graciously agreed to show off his new, small but mighty desktop. We'll put it through its paces with a couple quick demos and tests. We'll likely get OpenWebUI running on it, as well as Cadoodle. I recently started (trying!) to use a glove80 keyboard so I'll bring that along so people can give it a try as well. As usual, we'll head off for dinner afterwards to keep the conversation going. Thanks, TIm. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] REMINDER: Upcoming Meeting on Wednesday

by Aaron Haviland

Just to bridge the gap... Andy, I'm copying this to the local Ubuntu Community (LoCo) Team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MassachusettsTeam) as although I can never make these meetings myself, I thought someone else there might be able to, and might be interested in demoing. It is short notice, though... Also, it might be interesting to compare with the latest beta of Intrepid (8.10) as that's due out next month, and I believe KDE's gone through a major change between the two releases. I'll let someone more knowledgeable speak to that...

WLUG Meeting Tomorrow! Topic: Security Oriented Linux

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Our next meeting will be April 12th, 2018. Time: 7pm Location: WPI Mid Century Room rm 331 The topic of this meeting will be Security Oriented Linux(s). In short these are versions of linux that attempt to harden your machine through encryption, process isolation, etc. and obscure your access to the internet using proxies and tor. This will include Tails, Kali, Whonix, Qubes, etc. If you are using one of the above, drop me a quick line. Otherwise, I'll be running a few of these as VMs on my machine. Snacks and refreshments will be provided and afterwards we'll head off for dinner and keep the conversation going. Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: Ideas for the next WLUG meeting

by Joshua Stone

John, Thank you for your input! I was unfamiliar with duc's UI when I first tried using it, but now I'm much more proficient with it. I'm more than happy to share my findings with you so that more people can benefit from useful tools like this. Speaking of which, I've also managed to create a proof-of-concept flatpak of duc which you may find useful for learning the conventions of this app deployment technology: https://github.com/joshua-stone/nl.zevv.Duc I hope you can make it to the next meeting! I'm going to try to make it to the next meeting as well, but it'd have to be well before Christmas because I'll be on vacation for a couple weeks. -Josh On Mon, 2019-11-18 at 21:43 -0500, John Stoffel wrote: > Josh, This is a great start for a talk, I really like your example of > setting up duc, though you don't need to build the cache yourself > with > tcbmgr, duc should do that itself on startup. > > I may borrow your docs and testing things out and update the duc docs > as well, since I think what you've done here is really neat. > > Looking forward to trying to make the next meeting, though December > thru February will be tough for me due to other commitments. > > John >
