Upcoming meetings - topic proposals

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, For our next meeting, I would like to have somebody finish the thread from the last meeting or two by explaining the contents of their firewall script and why the series of ipchains commands works for them. This might be helpful to folks who are either considering implementing a firewall or who want to understand the canned script that they got from wherever. My idea for a subsequent meeting was to have a newbie meeting as we haven't had one in quite some time. One idea I had was to discuss a shell: a) bash - scripting, command line "tricks" perhaps go over a "real" script, such as a startup script in /etc/init.d/wherever... Another idea would be to discuss the use of digital cameras with Linux. Are there other topics people would like to see? Are there volunteers to take on these topics? Perhaps there is a topic more interesting to you? Thanks in advance for your input, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

Re: [Wlug] Volunteers needed!

by Andy Stewart

Hi all, WOW! The response has been great! Here's what I've got for volunteers so far: Critique the slides ------------------- Scott Venier Dean Deaver Doug Waud Tom Manders Conduct Demos ------------- Tim Keller Doug Waud Mark Komarinski I was hoping we could get 1 or 2 more people to do demos. I suspect that 4 people is enough to sufficiently critique the slides. The Delphi Developers group meeting takes place at: Allaire Corporation 275 Grove Street Newton, MA Check out their website for directions: http://www.discom.com/delphi/meeting/MeetingDirections.html The meeting is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM so we should probably get there early enough to setup, say 6:30 PM on Monday, April 23rd. I'd expect the traffic in this area to be pretty heavy at that time of day due to rush hour. I will find out more of the logistical information, such as, how much table space do we have, how many outlets, etc. Also, would somebody be kind enough to allow me to use their laptop for the presentation since I don't own a laptop? I'll export the presentation to HTML if necessary, or if you have StarOffice already installed, I'll use that. (Maybe its time I bought one instead of lugging around my full tower...).

Volunteers needed!

by Andy Stewart

HI gang, I have been asked to be the guest speaker at the Delphi Developers Group meeting in Newton, MA on Monday, April 23rd (http://www.discom.com/delphi). They are interested in Linux due to the recent product announcement of Borland Kylix (http://www.borland.com/kylix). These folks are a group of software developers living in the Windows world. I had planned to prepare a 45 - 60 minute talk, Q/A, and then demonstrate some apps for them, such as: StarOffice Netscape Developer tools and utilities VmWare LILO Desktops - KDE, Gnome, enlightenment, etc. Installation of Linux The above list was suggested to me by their representative as a list of things that would be interesting to their developers group. I am seeking 2 or 3 people would like to volunteer to demo some of these tools at the meeting, and who can provide support for the questions which I can't answer. I'm looking for folks with systems or laptops that they are willing to bring to this meeting for the demos. I would also appreciate a volunteer or two who would be willing to critique my presentation slides before the meeting. You would not need to actually attend the meeting. I'd e-mail the slides to you and request your written feedback. The Delphi group representative will also get a sneak preview. If you are interested in either of these opportunities, please contact me this week if at all possible. Thanks in advance!

Re: [Wlug] REMINDER: Meeting on Wednesday, March 14th at 7 PM

by Jeremy

Would anyone be interested in seeing a wireless network in place? I have an Apple Airport working great at home that I could sudo-demo at the meeting... I have the 3com AirConnect PC Card also working on my laptop, which shows how to setup a PC card network adapter under linux as well. The Airport is connected to an IDSL in my apt and pretty easy to configure.. They do have a WIN/MAC client to configure it (my laptop is win/linux dual boot), but I also believe that they have a JAVA client (=linux) but I have not tried using that one yet either. Its about a $400 solution (base and PC CARD - kinda pricey for most college bound) but wicked convient for the home laptop and multiple computers (i.e. laptops and work stations) The airport does takes the place of using a linux box as a router / gateway though :-) It does NAT and a DHCP server - wicked simple and reliable. Just shows another angle / solution. This is low priority so if there is not enough time / interest no biggie... -Jeremy --- Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)mediaone.net> wrote: > > HI everyone, > > This is a friendly reminder: the next WLUG meeting will be held on > Wednesday, > March 14th at 7 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI in Worcester, MA.
