Hey Everybody!
Our next meeting is going to be on September 13th at 7pm.

Topic: Right now I don't have a main topic, but if people would like I can
do a quick talk on my current backup system that's using git / gitlab and
offsite repo pushes.
As usual, snacks and refreshments will be provided and we'll head off for
dinner afterwards.
Thanks,
Tim.

Reminder: WLUG Meeting August 9th, 2018! Topic: Bro
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
We've got a meeting on Thursday!
Time @ Location: 7pm @ WPI Mid Century Room (Rm 331) aka, the usual spot
Topic: Bro Network Security Monitor
Presenter: Eric Martin
Veteran WLUG member Eric Martin will be giving a talk about "Bro"
What's Bro?
Bro is a FOSS framework and event engine for analyzing network traffic.
First developed at LBNL in 1995 it is used on public, private and personal
networks provide robust indepth network usage and threat analysis. Check
out http://www.bro.org for more details.
Eric's talk will be focused around using Bro to understand the flow of
traffic around devices on our home network. As we add an ever increasing
set of devices that have the words "IoT" and/or Smart in their names, it
matters that we know what these devices are doing and who they're talking
to.
Thanks,
Tim.

Tonight's meeting
by rich＠richardklein.org
I've never been to a WLUG meeting before. It's okay for a member of the
general public to just show up, right?
On a different note, I was trying to set up the Cyrus mail server under Suse
9.2 and have been having a hell of a time with it. I set it aside about 2
weeks ago and haven't gotten back to it. If I bring the PC with me, would
anyone be able and willing to help me configure Cyrus properly (or maybe the
problem's with PAM - I don't know)? I suppose I could set it up at home for
someone to access via VNC or something, too.
Thanks,

Reminder! Meeting July 12th 2017 Topic: Open Forum / BBQ / guix
by Tim Keller
Hey Gang,
Our next meeting is July 12th, 2018. Currently there isn't a topic, so I
think I'm going to call this an open forum meeting. There was some talk
about guix, so we'll definitely be talking about that.
We'll also talk about when we want the BBQ. Personally, my vote is for
Sept. Less bugs, cooler weather, etc. Obviously if someone with a pool
wants to pitch for August I can be persuaded!
Location: WPI Campus Center Rm 301 (Hagglund room) When you come up the
stairs go right instead of left.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided.
Afterwards we'll head off for dinner and keep up the conversation.
Later,
Tim.

Re: [Wlug] BBQ Question
by Tim Keller
You're thinking of last years BBQ! My plan was to have the BBQ either
August or Sept. Being anywhere near a grill when it's 100 degrees just
isn't enjoyable.

It's big news on the Guile Scheme mailing list.
It's a package managment system.

We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Guix & GuixSD 0.15.0,
representing 7,020 commits by 100 people over 7 months.
This release brings us close to our goals for 1.0, so it’s probably one
of the last zero-dot-something releases.
• About
GNU Guix is a transactional package manager for the GNU system.
The Guix System Distribution, GuixSD, is an advanced distribution
of the GNU system.
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports
transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package
management, and per-user profiles. GuixSD offers a declarative
approach to operating system configuration management and is highly
hackable. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package
manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules,
using extensions to the Scheme language.
GuixSD uses the Linux-Libre kernel and the GNU Shepherd init system.
It can be used on an i686, x86_64, armv7, or aarch64 machine.
It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed
GNU/Linux system, including on armv7, aarch64, and mips64el.
