Next WLUG Meeting March 21st 2019, Topic: TBD
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
We've got a WLUG meeting on the 14th of March
Location: WPI Student Center Mid Century Room (rm 331)
Time: 7pm
I've got a couple ideas for topics.
1. Snaps / flatpacks / appimage. These are entirely encapsulated
applications that'll run on a variety of linux distributions. My new laptop
runs snaps using snapd. This is just one of a bunch of new technologies for
distributing software without having it tied to the machines glibc and
underlying libraries.
2. Microsoft and its complicated relationship with the OSS community. Are
we moving towards a dystopian future of locked and signed bootloaders?
Where your only option is to run Windows 10 with the linux subsystem. Has
google essentially done the same thing with Chromebook's and ChromeOS and
Android?
If someone has a topic that they're dying to do, let me know.
As usual refreshments and snacks will be provided and afterwards we'll head
off for dinner to continue the conversation.
Thanks,
Tim.

Reminder: Meeting Tomorrow (Feb. 21st) Topic: AWX Please note location!!!
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
This is a reminder that we've got a meeting tomorrow!
Time: 7pm
Date: Feb. 21st 2019
Location: Fuller Labs, Beckett Conference Room (Room 246)
https://maps.wpi.edu/?id=609#!m/105273
Topic: AWX
AWX is a platform for managing the automation of running ansible playbooks.
My talk will include an overview of ansible / git / gitlab and AWX as they
fit together as a system to manage configurations and software. For those
who use puppet/chef/salt, I'm sure there will be lively comparisons.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided and afterwards we'll head off
(likely to the Boynton) to continue the conversation.
Thanks,
Tim.

Reminder: WLUG Meeting THIS Thursday (2/21/2017): Topic: AWX
by Tim Keller
Hey Everybody,
We've got a meeting on Wednesday
Location: Fuller Labs, Beckett Conference Room, RM 246
Time: 7PM
Topic: AWX and Ansible.
AWX is the open source upstream version of Ansible Tower. This is a system
that automates the running of ansible playbooks on hosts. What's ansible?
Ansible is a management and configuration system for installing / modifying
and maintaining linux/unix machines. What's cooler is that AWX can natively
use git to manage configs. I'll talk about ansible, playbooks and then AWX.
As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off for
dinner afterwards to continue to conversation.
Thanks,
Tim.
