Yes, I can confirm that Progress will get a national-level geek/presenter for either the March or April meeting. Give us a couple of days to pick which one--I think it would be better to get the best possible person, and not lose them if they're unavailable on the date we pick. The timing here is excellent, too: PSC just hired someone to manage the Western US and re-opened their office here. The mgr's name is John O'Leary, and I'm cc'ing him on this, so now you have his address. Let us know what info you'd like in advance, and I will have that back to you a.s.a.p.

Moshe, did you ever get through to whoever you were looking for @SVLUG? By the way -- we're looking for a speaker for the SVLUG meeting on February 5th, 7 p.m. at Cisco in San Jose, CA. I'm a happy openMosix user, and think it would be well worth a 90-minute talk to an audience of 200 or so. Are either you or someone technical from the Palo Alto Qlusters office interested? Standard boilerplate follows. Steve CALL FOR SPEAKERS The Silicon Valley Linux User Group (SVLUG) has openings for speakers for our monthly meetings during several upcoming months. If you would like to present a topic of general interest to the Linux community, please feel free to contact SVLUG speaker coordinator Steve Traugott at speakers at svlug.org. About the group: ================ The Silicon Valley Linux User Group (SVLUG) is the oldest and one of the largest Linux user groups in the world. Past speakers include Marc Andreessen, Paul Vixie, Tim O'Reilly, and Larry Wall. SVLUG celebrated its 10th anniversary at the March 4, 1998 meeting, where Linus Torvalds addressed an audience of 500 people. SVLUG members include Linux professionals and enthusiasts in the vicinity of San Jose, California, internationally known as Silicon Valley. Member interests include Linux and free or low-cost implementations of Unix, open source software, and commercial products which incorporate Linux. The group was originally formed in 1988 as the PC-Unix Special Interest Group of the Silicon Valley Computer Society. SVLUG meetings are held the first Wednesday of the month, in conference centers provided by Cisco. The meetings are either technical presentations, product demonstrations, or general question and answer meetings. Typical audience size for the monthly meeting is 150-250 people, with as many as twice that for popular topics. The standard room configuration includes video projector and wireless microphones. All meetings are free and open to the public.

Steve We're pleased to announce the next meeting of the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group! WHAT: An Evening with Larry Wall WHEN: Wednesday, 3 April, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Larry Wall BACKGROUND: "There's more than one way to do it"; rather than lock in a topic for this evening, we're expecting evolution. Possible discussion includes but is not limited to Perl 6 and Parrot, X10 home automation, community collaboration in software development, and the physics of language itself. Expect an open, relaxing, and intriguing evening with a broad-minded and wonderful guy. (No, Larry didn't write this.) ;-) ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Larry Wall is the creator of Perl, patch, and the rn newsreader. He is a linguist in human as well as machine languages, reads classical Greek, and studied these as well as Chemistry and Music at Seattle Pacific University, U.C. Berkeley, and U.C.L.A. He has worked with Unisys, JPL, Netlabs, and Seagate, as well as O'Reilly, working with a wide range of technologies from discrete event simulators to spacecraft. WHERE: Cisco Building 9.

After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite.

Moshe confirmed the second day, so looks like that Moshe will give a talk, but then again, before we receive the bio/descriptions of the talk, we can't make this final decision yet. March 5th might have already taken by Seth from EFF, and I need to confirm with him one more time. I asked Drew Perttula for April 2nd, and haven't heard anything from him.

I'm an employee of Sony Computer Entertainment, America and a former member of the VA Linux Systems professional services team. If you have an available slot some time this year I would very much like to come give a talk on the Linux kit at SVLUG. I recently spoke at LUGOD and it seems that people had a pretty good time. Let me know if a talk on Linux for Playstation(r) 2 would be something your membership would be interested in. At LUGOD the presentation included slides with Q&A followed by live demos. Check out our (Sony Computer Entertainment, America) website, which I administer, at http://playstation2-linux.com for more information on the kit and feel free to ask any questions about the kit or my bio. I look forward to hearing from you. -Adam From todd.trichler at oracle.com Thu Jan 16 02:07:01 2003 From: todd.trichler at oracle.com (Todd Trichler) Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2003 02:07:01 -0800 Subject: [Speakers] SVLUG CA: OTN to sponsor next meeting ? Message-ID: <3E268445.2090908@oracle.com> To celebrate some exciting new open source additions to our Linux center . OTN has decided to sponsor some of the top linux user groups in the states... * OTN would be interested in sponsoring the Silicon Valley Linux User Group with:* - *a credible guru speaker from Oracle's Linux Development team* - the latest Oracle9i Software: JDeveloper Oracle 9i AS Containers for J2EE ( OC4J ) Oracle 9i AS Toplink - persistence software Oracle 9i AS Webcache - caching software for Linux Oracle9i Database on Linux - pizza etc. * Here is a partial list of some of the topics in which we could field Linux Gurus:* * *Clustering with Firewire * * *Make managing RAW files obsolete by using OCFS * * *Creating a Java development environment using Open Source Tools and JDeveloper on Linux.* - Have you just finished installing a Linux distro and are now ready to start coding? Learn how easy it is to install Sun's J2SDK 1.4, the Jakarta Project's Ant, CVS, Oracle9i JDeveloper, and check out some open source projects from SourceForge. * *Migrating from Windows to Linux* - Finally decided to kick the Windows habit? Learn how to migrate your Java project from your Windows machine to Linux. We'll also cover setting up Linux to log into a Windows Domain and share files via SAMBA with other Windows clients. Finally we'll show several ways of easily importing source code from the file system into Oracle9i JDeveloper. * *Removing the Single Point of Failure - Network & I/O Failover.* **NIC Failover** allows a user to set up network card failover on linux. Oracle's Linux team has used this proof of concept code to test Oracle's Real Application Clusters. **I/O Failover** no single point of failure for disk IO using the linux multipath driver. This ensures that you can use 2 fibrechannelcards (or more) and if 1 card or switch fails, it will still go on. * *Linux kernel tuning for Oracle* - Best Practises for Memory management, I/O setup, ... by Oracle's Linux development team. Please let me know at your earliest convenience, as I am currently scheduling Oracle's envolvement with Linux User groups for 2003. I can send you an abstract from the appropriate guru once I receive your topic interest(s). thanks - Todd Todd Trichler Oracle Technology Network http://otn.oracle.com/linux/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It might mention it in a Qlusters press release and show the date at your booth or handouts at Linux World. Our agreement with Cisco precludes explicit marketing on-site, but since you really are doing an open-source technical talk we'll be fine. Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

This month's speaker is a very special guest. WHAT: openMosix: Kernel-Level Linux Clusters WHEN: Wednesday, 5 February, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Moshe Bar Tel Aviv University, United Nations ICTP, Qlusters Inc. Palo Alto, Italian National Physics of Matter Institute Lab for Atomic Research BACKGROUND: As clusters are expanding from their traditional HPC (High Performance Computing) domain into business applications, single-system-image clusters are gaining fast in importance. openMosix has in a very short time gained thousands of installations around the world and enjoys an enthusiastic and strong developer community. In this talk Moshe Bar will explore the internals of openMosix, the technology's application fields and sample uses. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Moshe Bar is the former co-project manager of MOSIX and the current project manager of openMosix. He has authored several books on the Linux kernel and clustering and is co-author with Karl Fogel in the classic CVS book "OpenSource Development with CVS". Moshe has been a senior monthly columnist at BYTE for the last four years and wrote regular kernel columns in the past for Linux Journal and other publications. In 2001 Moshe Bar became CTO of Linux clustering start-up Qlusters, Inc. Moshe has a M.Sc and Ph.D. in computer science and teaches advanced operating systems topics at Tel Aviv University and at the United Nations Atomic Agency research institute ICTP in Triest, Italy. He is furthermore a permanent researcher at the Italian National Institute of Particle Physics. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

We'll need to put together a talk description/bio for the svlug.org website - example follows. As soon as I get this from you, I'll update the website. The date of your talk will be on March 5th, 2003. Thank you, Joyce ================================================= We're pleased to announce the next meeting of the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group! WHAT: An Evening with Larry Wall WHEN: Wednesday, 3 April, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Larry Wall BACKGROUND: "There's more than one way to do it"; rather than lock in a topic for this evening, we're expecting evolution. Possible discussion includes but is not limited to Perl 6 and Parrot, X10 home automation, community collaboration in software development, and the physics of language itself. Expect an open, relaxing, and intriguing evening with a broad-minded and wonderful guy. (No, Larry didn't write this.) ;-) ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Larry Wall is the creator of Perl, patch, and the rn newsreader. He is a linguist in human as well as machine languages, reads classical Greek, and studied these as well as Chemistry and Music at Seattle Pacific University, U.C. Berkeley, and U.C.L.A. He has worked with Unisys, JPL, Netlabs, and Seagate, as well as O'Reilly, working with a wide range of technologies from discrete event simulators to spacecraft. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there! ========================================================= Seth David Schoen wrote: > > Joyce Cao Traugott writes: > > > Hi Seth, > > > > I talked to Steve, and he thinks that we should have you in for a talk > > on March 5th.

And I saw the notice that you sent to the Merc. I didn't know we had ever advertized these there -- I haven't done it since I took over in Jan '02. Do you want to keep doing it? We can add you to the Leadership page, call you "Event Publicist" or somesuch -- pick a title. We'd probably want to add you to the speaker coordinators list also, so you'd have early notice of what's going on and more background for a given topic. For this talk, do you think we should follow up with an amended version that includes the lead "BACKGROUND" paragraph? Looking around on the Merc's website it looks like they can publish a full paragraph about the meeting. This would be especially important for this particular one, considering the speaker -- he's done a great thing in creating an open-source replacement for a closed package, it's his first large presentation in the U.S., and we want to pack the house. Might also insert the words "openMosix project lead" in front of his name in the body. Here's what I mean: What: Silicon Valley Linux User Group General Meeting When: Wednesday, February 5th, 2003 Speaker: Moshe Bar, Tel Aviv University, United Nations ICTP, Qlusters, Democritos Topic: openMosix: Kernel-Level Linux Clusters Where: Cisco Sstems, Bldg. 9, E. Tasman Drive at Zanker Rd., San Jose, CA As clusters are expanding from their traditional HPC (High Performance Computing) domain into business applications, single-system-image clusters are gaining fast in importance. openMosix has in a very short time gained thousands of installations around the world and enjoys an enthusiastic and strong developer community. In this talk, openMosix project lead Moshe Bar will explore the internals of openMosix, the technology's application fields and sample uses. More information and directions can be found at http://www.svlug.org/meetings.shtml You seem to have sent these to the Merc before, or at least read those calendars a lot -- do you think that's too much? Don't want them to have to edit it down and break something. And maybe we should bump "openMosix: Kernel-Level Linux Clusters" up to be the title of the event, and mention SVLUG in the body -- not sure which would draw more people though. What do you think? Anyone else have any suggestions? Steve On Sun, Jan 19, 2003 at 05:26:58PM -0800, Margaret Wendall wrote: > Steve - > > Have you sent this info to the SJ Murky News?

Thx for the abstract-ish version, I'll use it for pasisng to the baylisa crowd. I do mention svlug to them when the topic is sysadminly.

I'd be delighted to present at one of your meetings. I may be out of town Feb 5th, so I'd be more comfortable committing to the March meeting. FYI, I'll be presenting at the January ACCU meeting, although there I'll probably focus on my C code and the interfaces between Python and C. Perhaps a higher-level discussion about why I chose the tools, systems, and languages that I did would be more appropriate for your group. Also, as I promise at http://cuisine.bigasterisk.com, I'm about to post the talk I gave a few months ago online (with transcript). That may give you other ideas for what you'd like me to focus on. -Drew ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Steve Traugott Speaker Coordinator, Silicon Valley Linux Users Group http://www.svlug.org -- UNIX/Linux Infrastructure Architect, TerraLuna LLC stevegt at TerraLuna.Org http://www.stevegt.com From mray7 at earthlink.net Fri Jan 17 21:31:48 2003 From: mray7 at earthlink.net (Marika) Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2003 21:31:48 -0800 Subject: [Speakers] Speaker for SVLUG Message-ID: <3E28E6C4.2040703@earthlink.net> Hi Steve, A few years ago Richard Stallman came to SVLUG and spoke.

This is just my personal opinion, and not a veto from the vice president: - We paid for stallman to come over (we went around a passed a hat basically) - Stallman was his rude, insensitive self, and started by trying to rewrite our banner to say SVGLUG and giving us his ever so tiring speed about why we should all say GNU/Linux and why he deserves credit (which he does deserve, but you sure don't ask for it that way) - He later boycotted whatever restaurant we went to back then because he didn't feel like going there, and had people drive him elsewhere. If other people want to see him again, fine, but I'm sure not going to throw another $20 in a hat to pay for his flight... I'd also like to re-iterate that SVLUG owes pretty much nothing to Stallman, especially not attendance. Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

I object; this was around the time that I joined. There was a surge from averaging 40 (fit neatly in the Carl's Jr) to around 70 (does not really fit there) and we quickly sought a bigger host. I was there when Hans Reiser was speaking; probably the first one Linus attended, and he made considerable effort to not get noticed so he could get to hear Hans' talk. At that one the room was stuffed to overflowing (~70, 75 people) and the mutter among the crowd was this was too many months in a row to be cramped like this. We had another surge from ~150 regularly to ~400 later; since then it has fluctuated but never dreamed of fitting back in the Carl's anteroom. The surge to 150-200 attendees cna be directly attributed to the hostspace actually having room for it. The later surge (and fluctuations afterwards) can be attributed to Linux' own surge in the local computing industry. We do get a few more people when we get a wildly famous speaker. We've had several and it's all a blit on the meter. > > it was just great to hear from one the guys that started it all.

SVLUG began its existence as a UNIX special interest group long before Linux was interesting. There were a lot of flavors, for a short while. We owe easily as much to the folks who beat X into usable shape, or the BSD students throughout the years who made AT&T UNIX bearable. Renaming to SVLUG came later. Linux may owe quite a bit to Stallman - but also to these others. . | .

Palo Alto, Italian National Physics of Matter Institute Lab for Atomic Research BACKGROUND: As clusters are expanding from their traditional HPC (High Performance Computing) domain into business applications, single-system-image clusters are gaining fast in importance. openMosix has in a very short time gained thousands of installations around the world and enjoys an enthusiastic and strong developer community. In this talk Moshe Bar will explore the internals of openMosix, the technology's application fields and sample uses. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Moshe Bar is the former co-project manager of MOSIX and the current project manager of openMosix. He has authored several books on the Linux kernel and clustering and is co-author with Karl Fogel in the classic CVS book "OpenSource Development with CVS". Moshe has been a senior monthly columnist at BYTE for the last four years and wrote regular kernel columns in the past for Linux Journal and other publications. In 2001 Moshe Bar became CTO of Linux clustering start-up Qlusters, Inc. Moshe has a M.Sc and Ph.D. in computer science and teaches advanced operating systems topics at Tel Aviv University and at the United Nations Atomic Agency research institute ICTP in Triest, Italy. He is furthermore a permanent researcher at the Italian National Institute of Particle Physics. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center.

WHAT: The Empire Strikes Back: Constraining Free Software Development WHEN: Wednesday, 5 March, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Seth Schoen, Electronic Frontier Foundation BACKGROUND: The astonishing success of free software systems in changing the face of the computer world -- in under twenty years -- has led many free and open source software advocates to see our movement as an unstoppable force. Created around the same time as the Macintosh, the GNU system has been said to have a comparable market share, even though it was largely created by volunteers. Apache has not just a plurality but even a majority of the web server market, and Linux adoption continues to grow by leaps and bounds. These successes in market share, corresponding successes in mind share, and a robust, growing, and increasingly sophisticated developer community can make the free software world look like a force of nature. Some unwary advocates now see the triumph of free software as a foregone conclusion, or an inevitability. "Historical inevitability" is no more reasonable in engineering than it has been in other contexts. Free software has been viewed from the outside as an anomaly (or, sometimes, as a threat). It is increasingly the focal point of political struggles, and it is too early to say what the outcome of those struggles will be. I will review the story of the DVD Wars, the broader debates over copyright policy, current regulatory initiatives. I will also discuss new technologies such as software-defined radio and trusted computing, and emphasize that free software's future is far from assured. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Seth Schoen is one of the lead developers of the LNX-BBC rescue system (formerly the Linuxcare Bootable Business Card). He worked as a Senior Linux Consultant at Linuxcare for two years; he has also been an intern at Toronto Dominion Bank and at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His long-time interest in civil liberties led him to his current position as Staff Technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization based in San Francisco. He has been active in the Bay Area free software community since he moved to the Bay Area in 1997 from Massachusetts. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center.

Steve Okay here. We've met and talked before during your visits/presentation to BayLISA. Sorry about the late date of this request, but I was wondering if I could get a few minutes in the program tommorrow to put out a call for volunteers for a project I'm involved with. I've spent the last 2 months partially in the US, partially in Laos working for the Jhai Foundation on their RemoteIT Project, AKA "The Pedal-Powered Internet". A few background links: http://jhai.org/jhai_remoteIT.html http://jhai.org/jhai_remote_launch_faq.htm http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2003/02/14/MN183059.DTL We made some good progress on our last trip to Laos including an end-to-end test on site proving that the network design is valid and workable using Linux-based laptops and 802.11 networking equipment. Unfortunately, we ran into some problems and were not able to completely pull it off, but know the problems can be conquered by the Linux Community in the Bay Area. If you can squeeze me in, I'd like about 10 minutes to briefly pitch our Call For Volunteers to the attendees at the meeting, beginning or end, whatever you have time for. We need experts with Bootloader, Kernel driver, Distribution Development and VOIP/Linux Telephony experience. This is a very cool project for some really wonderful people and is the sort of thing that only Linux and Open Source can accomplish because of the sustainability requirements.

WHAT: The Empire Strikes Back: Constraining Free Software Development WHEN: Wednesday, 5 March, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Seth Schoen, Electronic Frontier Foundation BACKGROUND: The astonishing success of free software systems in changing the face of the computer world -- in under twenty years -- has led many free and open source software advocates to see our movement as an unstoppable force. Created around the same time as the Macintosh, the GNU system has been said to have a comparable market share, even though it was largely created by volunteers. Apache has not just a plurality but even a majority of the web server market, and Linux adoption continues to grow by leaps and bounds. These successes in market share, corresponding successes in mind share, and a robust, growing, and increasingly sophisticated developer community can make the free software world look like a force of nature. Some unwary advocates now see the triumph of free software as a foregone conclusion, or an inevitability. "Historical inevitability" is no more reasonable in engineering than it has been in other contexts. Free software has been viewed from the outside as an anomaly (or, sometimes, as a threat). It is increasingly the focal point of political struggles, and it is too early to say what the outcome of those struggles will be. I will review the story of the DVD Wars, the broader debates over copyright policy, current regulatory initiatives. I will also discuss new technologies such as software-defined radio and trusted computing, and emphasize that free software's future is far from assured. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Seth Schoen is one of the lead developers of the LNX-BBC rescue system (formerly the Linuxcare Bootable Business Card). He worked as a Senior Linux Consultant at Linuxcare for two years; he has also been an intern at Toronto Dominion Bank and at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. His long-time interest in civil liberties led him to his current position as Staff Technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a non-profit organization based in San Francisco. He has been active in the Bay Area free software community since he moved to the Bay Area in 1997 from Massachusetts. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center.

But we'll have one of these sessions each month; this one is just a shakedown.) We're going to begin having a PGP/GPG key-signing session at each SVLUG meeting. The first session, tonight, will be self-organizing; experienced signers only. If you haven't signed PGP keys before, don't have a PGP key, aren't sure what this is all about, and/or just need a little help getting started, then please disregard the rest of this message and skip tonight's signing, but stay tuned -- we'll have "getting started" instructions as soon as we have an organizer. See http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html for more information. If you are an experienced PGP user who has participated in key-signings before, and want to add signatures to your existing PGP key, then arrive early at tonight's SVLUG meeting (let's try 6:45, and see how well that works). Meet at the podium, and ask if anyone nearby wants to sign your key. Don't wait for an organizer to start the party -- there isn't one. Use due care and take suitable precautions when checking ID's and signing -- it's your signature. If you aren't sure what you need to watch out for, then err on the safe side -- skip tonight's signing and wait until we have a better orientation system in place. Remember to bring the following with you: - Several printed copies of your key fingerprint (gpg --fingerprint yourid) - A government-issued photo ID If you would like to organize future key-signing sessions, then please send mail to speakers at svlug.org.

I've done a few simple demos of it for Sacramento LUG, LUGOD (Davis), and a small PC User Group out here in Davis, as well. I'm also the extremely lazy maintainer of the "Unofficial Zaurus FAQ," which is apparently so good that Sharp points to it on their own websites. :^) I've got a VNC server on the Zaurus, so I'll be able to run a VNC client on a desktop system, which will let me show everyone what's on the screen using the projector system. (Back before VNC was available, I used a camcorder at one talk; sufficed to say, it kind of sucked :^) ) I'm fairly certain I can easily fill at least an hour, since there's so much to talk about: * Brief history of the Zaurus * Sharp's partners involved (Insignia, Trolltech, Opera, IBM, Socket, etc.) * Boring hardware specs * Demonstration of the useful standard software * Demonstration of some of the very cool 3rd party software * Demonstration of Linux under the hood (terminal, bash, ssh, Apache, etc.) * Fun add-on hardware (e.g., digital camera) * Other models of the Zaurus (in Japan and the US) * Other Qtopia-based PDAs Along with all this, it sounds like there's interest in hearing about development for the Zaurus. I'm not an _expert_ when it comes to this. I've had success (thanks to some work by others) on getting a number of my SDL-based games running on the Zaurus, so at the very least, I can talk a little about cross-compiling. If there's a LOT of interest in development for the Zaurus, I bet I could convince one of the folks from Sharp who are located closer to San Jose that they should come up and do a whole talk on building apps for the Zaurus. (It'd be more Qtopia-focused, which is probably better.) Anyway... Thanks for this opportunity! Steve said that he thinks the earliest date available would be the June or July meeting, so let me know, and I can make sure I'll be free and prepared!

(I didn't see an e-mail address at his presentation last night.) Jim, I work at NASA Ames for a small company "AerospaceComputing, Inc." (http://www.aerospacecomputing.com), based in Mountain View, just outside Moffett Field. We are mostly aerospace engineers and researchers, but also computer scientists and other developers. I personally am a UNIX/Linux developer with a strong interest in aerospace sciences. During the past couple of months, I've been discussing heat dissipation problems of clustered machines with one of our lead aeronautical engineers. Our short discussions lead us to believe that there might be aero/thermo/mechanical solutions that might not as yet have been investigated in removing heat. The range of possibilities include things like: better heat sinks, more efficient fans, better in-server aerodynamics and convection, etc. I thought it might be instructive for us to come visit you just to get a reality check on the problems you've encountered and what you've been through. Slides like the ones you showed last night of the internals of a server and a visit (if possible) to a rack in a data center would be useful. If we pursue this further, I imagine someone will ask for specific numbers regarding power consumption, has any attempt been made to model the air flow, etc. Given our close proximity to you, it should be possible to gather some of our principal engineers and visit you for on a hour or two. If such a meeting is of interest to you, I can work with you to schedule a visit. Let me know if you any questions or concerns beforehand. --Rick Kwan, senior research engineer of AerospaceComputing, Inc. http://www.aerospacecomputing.com at NASA Ames Research Center, M/S 210-8, Moffett Field, CA 94035 From marc_news at merlins.org Thu Apr 3 10:25:31 2003 From: marc_news at merlins.org (Marc MERLIN) Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 10:25:31 -0800 Subject: [Speakers] Re: aero/thermo/mech issues (msg for Jim Reese) In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <20030403182531.GB12222@merlins.org> On Thu, Apr 03, 2003 at 07:54:49AM -0800, Richard Kwan wrote: > Steve, Marc, > > I wonder if one of you could forward this note to Jim Reese at Google. > (I didn't see an e-mail address at his presentation last night.)

WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there! From cherlin at pacbell.net Mon May 5 15:19:33 2003 From: cherlin at pacbell.net (Edward Cherlin) Date: Mon, 5 May 2003 15:19:33 -0700 Subject: [Speakers] Simputer presentation Message-ID: <200305051519.33532.cherlin@pacbell.net> I am the Simputer Evangelist for North America. The Simputer, a Linux handheld, is the only computer designed specifically for poor people. It supports illiterate users with text-to-speech conversion, and reduces cost by allowing users to share it using removable storage products. SmartCards are appropriate for small amounts of data, and Flash devices for large quantities. Of course, Simputers are also useful in commercial applications, and the board is available for use in embedded systems. I would like to schedule a talk and demonstration of the Simputer for a future SVLUG meeting, to explain something of the Simputer's capabilities, its target markets and applications, how to develop for the Simputer, and current development projects and field trials in health, education, languages, microbanking, and commercial applications. Simputer FAQ 1. What is the Simputer? 2. What features make Simputers suited to use by poor and illiterate people? 3. What are Simputers for? 4. Where can I get a Simputer? 5. What software runs on Simputers? 6. What products for Simputers are in development? 7. Where can I find out more about the Simputer? 1. What is the Simputer? Although the Simputer (Simple, Inexpensive, Multilingual Computer) looks a lot like a PDA, it was designed primarily for use by poor and even illiterate people to provide access to health, education, information, and other services. As a Linux handheld with unequalled connectivity at an unheard-of low price, the Simputer turns out to be a platform well-suited to Free Software, commercial applications, and embedded systems of many kinds. The basic model starts at US$206.00. The Simputer has the following connections built in. Infrared (IrDA) SmartCard reader/writer USB master USB slave Sound I/O 56K modem Serial port Compact Flash connector External power Simputers can be connected to anything supported by infrared, USB, or Compact Flash interfaces, a serial port, or a modem. This includes wired and wireless LANs, the Internet, data acquisition systems, GPS, Flash storage devices, hard drives, CD-ROM and DVD drives, mouse, keyboard, external monitor, wired and IrDA printers, and most other computer peripherals and communications systems. 2. What features make Simputers suited to use by poor and illiterate people? The Simputer is designed with multilingual capability, including Text-to-Speech conversion for several languages of India. Voice recognition will be added later, and voice capabilities will be expanded to other languages. A very large pool of no-cost software can be put on the Simputer. Simputers can be shared using inexpensive SmartCards for private storage. This reduces the cost per person greatly. Simputers use 2 AA batteries for power, or an external transformer. Lithium ion AA batteries can be recharged using solar or human power in areas where there is no electric supply. 3. What is the Simputer for? Applications of the Simputer are in development in many areas. Applications directed especially at the needs of the poor include health, education, government services, microbanking, access to information, and general communication. Other applications include inventory management, agriculture, scientific and government data acquisition, financial services, construction, and many more. 4. Where can I get a Simputer? Simputer development systems are currently available. This includes a monochrome Simputer, a color Simputer, the Simputer SDK on CD-ROM, and two days' training, all for US$1500.00. The Simputer SDK includes all of the tools needed to compile applications for the Simputer on any supported Linux system, or on Windows. Simputers are not in retail distribution. Some potential development partners are in discussions with Encore Technologies, the principal manufacturer, about retail versions. FCC approval is being sought in the U.S., and similar efforts are under way for other markets. 5. What software runs on Simputers? The Simputer comes with standard Unix utilities, a hardware "control panel" set of utilities, and the following applications and demonstrations. E-mail Notepad Address book (seven languages) Calculator Web browser File browser Unix terminal running sh shell command interpreter MP3 music player Image file viewer IrDA printing utility Banking demo Billing demo Land survey demo Meter reader demo SmartCard reader/writer demo Text-to-Speech demo There are thousands of Unix/Linux applications that will run on Simputers. Many have been compiled for the StrongARM processor in the Simputer, and are available for download. Others can be cross-compiled from source code on any system running the Simputer SDK, and then downloaded to the Simputer. A Java system and several APL systems are being ported to the Simputer. Programming languages currently available for Simputer development include C, C++, Perl, Python, and LISP. There are Integrated Development Environments supporting all of these languages together with GUI development tools and numerous libraries. 6. What products for Simputers are in development? The Showcase section of simputerland.com has information on a number of applications and tools in development by the following partner companies. Africa Digital Bridges Regional Distributor of Encore's Simputer in Africa and the Middle East Analytix Systems Mobile solutions, analysis and data-mining ANT Labs Wireless and broadband networking Appear Networks Wireless solutions for WISPs (wireless internet service providers) Arguz Supply chain solutions Deltra Software Multi-lingual Text-to-Speech E&I / Digicircle European Community Market distributor Developer's network ERP application ekgaon technologies Information Systems Knowledge Management E-governance Rural Networking Micro-Enterprise Management Systems Multi-lingual Computing Eutech Cybernetics Intelligent building management Property and facility management Energy asset management Network management Comprehensive solution for hospitals and networked healthcare organizations Turnkey contract programming services F I T client-server life insurance and pensions products G4 Software Scalable enterprise solutions IBIZ Consulting Enterprise business solutions INitiate IT awareness and literacy in a developing countries Knowledge Systems Bluetooth Protocol Stack for Linux Maringo Tree Linux consulting Wireless LANs Internet Security GRID/Cluster-based high performance computing Kernel hardening Embedded systems Maruthi-IT.com Enterprise application suite Financial management Trade documentation Order processing Procurement Supply chain management Customer relationship management Pyxis Technology Sol Pyxis Civic Management System SathSoft Micro-Banking and Micro-Credit Land Records Meter reading Billing Spider Systems ERP Software Implementation Web-enabled business solutions Embedded systems development Database administration support Sales Force Automation Training Web-Dunia Indian language support 7.

Ecora Software is the leading provider of Total Configuration Management solutions for the IT Infrastructure. Our Total Configuration Management solution suite is a proactive and holistic approach to securing the IT infrastructure and reducing operational costs thru multi-platform, enterprise-wide configuration reporting, change monitoring, and patch management. With Ecora's TCM solution, IT managers gain an advanced degree of knowledge and control over their IT infrastructure that's impossible to achieve with traditional systems management products or through manual data collection. We would like to encourage the SVLUG community to take part in our trial release of Ecora Auditor for UNIX (module supports RedHat, Solaris, HPUX and AIX). Please go to our download area at http://www.ecora.com . Please provide your feedback to feedback at ecora.co m . Requirements to test will require a Windows machine. Please let me know if we would be able to participate in one of your upcoming meetings. I appreciate your time and consideration. My coordinates are below. ------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ENTERPRISE AUDITOR Enterprise Auditor 3.0 GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR IT INFRASTRUCTURE WITH POWERFUL, FLEXIBLE CROSS-PLATFORM CONFIGURATION REPORTING AND CHANGE MANAGEMENT By automating configuration data collection, reporting, and change tracking, Ecora mitigates IT risks and reduces the time and labor costs associated with system changes, security, recovery, and IT compliance. Now you can account for the state of your IT infrastructure at any given moment and have a degree of knowledge and security unmatched by labor-intensive manual approaches. KEY BENEFITS OF ENTERPRISE AUDITOR 3.0 Cross-platform configuration data repository Ecora Enterprise Auditor collects critical configuration data from Windows, Unix, Linux, NetWare, Cisco, MS-SQL Server, Exchange, IIS, AD, Citrix, Oracle, and Lotus Domino platforms into a Microsoft SQL database (or MSDE), creating a cross-platform configuration repository. This data can be used for auditing, reporting, disaster recovery, change identification and tracking, and more. Imagine being able to manage configuration data for all platforms from a single console. Enterprise Auditor supports snap-in modules for the platforms you want to manage in one intuitive interface. Hundreds of useful reports right out-of-the box Ecora Enterprise Auditor provides hundreds of built-in database reports that quickly provide solutions to many of the IT challenges you face every day. The built-in reports automatically collect data for disaster recovery documentation, regulatory compliance requirements, change tracking, security assessments, and more. Enterprise Scalability The cross-platform configuration repository efficiently handles critical configuration data from thousands of servers, workstations, and network devices running your IT infrastructure. The SQL Server database instantly generates reports on configuration data and delivers the answers you need - fast! Flexible and customizable reporting Enterprise Auditor offers a simple drag-and-drop interface for creating customized Fact Finding Reports (FFR) that let you choose only the data you need. For example, a single cross-platform report can contain data from Windows 2000 servers, Microsoft Exchange servers, and Sun Solaris or HP-UX systems, as well as other platforms. All reports can be run interactively or scheduled to run during off-hours or on a recurring basis. Consolidated Change Reporting Want to be able to identify and track all changes that took place across all critical systems in a single report? Now you can. View the "before and after" information for every change or observe and closely track every change that took place in any given time period. Especially useful for identifying unauthorized changes that can compromise security, create performance issues, and cause downtime. Enterprise Auditor's console provides a single access point to the cross-platform configuration repository and reports. Quickly move to each platform module from the drop-down menu. The cross-platform configuration data repository collects data from all your critical platforms, servers, and network devices. R I S K M A N A G E M E N T S O F T W A R E F O R T H E I T I N F R A S T R U C T U R E KEY FEATURES Alerting & Notification Enterprise Auditor can proactively alert you to important information, such as changes to critical security settings and other important events that need your immediate attention, wherever you happen to be. The product sends alerts by email, SNMP traps, or NT event logs. Auto-Archiving.

If you do port it, please contact us. (Switching hats...) I'm the founder of Infrastructures.Org -- automated systems administration (a superset of TCM) is what I do, primarily for the financial industry; I've published open-source ASA tools and techniques for the last several years. I've advised several Bay Area ASA startups; if you would like to discuss strategy for community acceptance of the Linux port, please let me know. We'll need to take this discussion off the SVLUG speakers list; I can be reached at 800-852-5654.

Thanks! See you in a few weeks! (Yipes!) Talk title: ----------- "Sharp's Zaurus PDAs" Talk description: ----------------- In early 2002, Sharp Electronics released the first in a growing line of powerful Linux-based PDAs. Originally based on the 206MHz StrongARM CPU, and now running the 400MHz XScale, Zauruses have 32-64 MB of RAM, Compact Flash Type-II and Secure Digital expansion slots, 240x320 full-color front-lit touchscreens, and the ability to use numerous add-on devices (like modems, wireless cards, flash-memory expansions, etc.). While this sounds similar to PDAs based on Microsoft's PocketPC operating system (like HP's iPaq), the Zaurus differs in a number of important ways. The most striking physical difference to most PDAs is the built-in QWERTY keypad which, coupled with the 8-way directional pad and control buttons, allows fast and accurate text entry and GUI navigation without resorting to bulky add-on keyboards or even using the touchscreen. (The Zaurus does have trainable handwriting recognition and an on-screen 'soft' keyboard.) The biggest, and most important difference, is that the Zaurus runs Linux... out of the box. To be precise, a combination of Lineo's "Embeddix" operating system, Trolltech's "Qtopia" graphical environment and PDA software, Insignia's "Jeode" Personal Java environment, the "Opera" web browser, and an embedded version of Hancom's office suite. ("Qtopia" is also the environment run on a number of new and upcoming Linux-based PDAs.) While devices running PocketPC look very similar to the desktop versions of Windows, they are quite different. On the other hand, the Linux running on the Zaurus is much closer to the Linux running on your desktop or server. (People have been known to run SSH, Apache, PHP, MySQL, VNC and Konqueror on the Zaurus.) In the year and a half since the Zaurus SL-5500 came out in the US and Europe, four additional Linux-based models have been released in Japan, where previously the Zaurus ran a proprietary Operating System developed by Sharp Japan. In that time, over 800 applications have been released for the Zaurus -- over 600 of which are released as Open Source software. Bio: ---- Bill Kendrick is an Open Source software developer living in Davis, California, where he's the president, public relations officer and webmaster of the local 350-member Linux Users Group. He has written about 20 games for Linux and other platforms -- his most recent being 'Tux Paint', a drawing program geared towards young children. Bill created, but hasn't had the time recently to maintain, the "Unofficial Zaurus FAQ." He is active in numerous online communities. -bill!

Note too that I'm not your point of contact. Don is our president (even though he doesn't send much mail :), and anything that you're tempted to send to me, you should really send to speakers@ or officers@ as appropriate.

LUGOD had a booth at the Government Technology Conference last week and I was circulating around looking for speakers for our LUG meetings. I ran across someone at Akamai, who claimed to have the largest network of Linux computers on the planet. He seemed to be interested in connecting us up with a Tech Person to talk about their system and use of Linux, but they are based in San Mateo and he seemed to want a larger audience than the 20-50 we have at meetings... so I suggested SVLUG might (also) be interested. I have not contacted him yet, but I would like to get someone to talk at both SVLUG and LUGOD meetings. - Is it okay if I try to line them up for a talk at SVLUG... or - Would it be better for me to hand my contact off to someone down there who will speak for SVLUG? or - Would you like me to cc you on all emails with them?

If they can provide the topic description and speaker bio now, great, but we don't have to have it until September. Also, it is not 100% sure that they can make it.

You are now on the speakers list, and you should see the traffic on that list. We still haven't decided the July speaker yet. August sugguestion from you was excellent. I will get the answers (the questions you asked about the August speakers) for you hopefully today.

WHAT: Sharp's Zaurus PDAs WHEN: Wednesday, 04 Jun, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Bill Kendrick, President, Linux Users' Group of Davis BACKGROUND: The Zaurus line of PDAs from Sharp Electronics are powerful Linux-based handheld computers. Sporting fast CPUs and lots of RAM, dual expansion slots, built-in keyboard, and Java runtime environment, they are capable of handling a wide range of tasks: Addressbook and calendar; web browsing; 3D video games with stereo sound; MP3 and video playback; voice recorder; Apache webserver with MySQL database; remote desktop control with VNC. Bill Kendrick has ported a number of games to the Zaurus, and created the Unofficial Zaurus FAQ. He's currently president of the growing Linux Users' Group of Davis, near Sacramento. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Bill Kendrick is an Open Source software developer living in Davis, California, where he's the president, public relations officer and webmaster of the local 350-member Linux Users Group. He has written about 20 games for Linux and other platforms -- his most recent being 'Tux Paint', a drawing program geared towards young children. Bill created, but hasn't had the time recently to maintain, the "Unofficial Zaurus FAQ." He is active in numerous online communities. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

The key idea is that any speakers list member should feel free to go speaker-hunting at any time, using this protocol to deconflict. We'll adjust as we go, but I think this will work for now. I have some CGI script ideas for a more mechanized approach should it become necessary; if we take care to communicate well with each other we might not need something fancier. Feel free to suggest refinements.

How early can I show up to start setting up, and making sure everything works? Also, if any of you are interested at peeking at my slides, I'd be happy to forward them.

Actually, since it's still the same doors we enter through, I think there may not be a need to make a big deal on the web site. Maybe list the name of the rooms if you want to go into that detail.

It should make life easier on people who print the directions - that's the reason members have requested this change. The files are still a work-in-progress. But in case some of you stumble upon them, their names within /home/httpd/html/directions are cisco-9-intro.shtml the main page for the directions, info about the building itself cisco-9-sitenav.shtml an include file used by all the Cisco Bldg 9 directions with a Moz/NS7 compatible navbar with links to each section of the directions in the correct file cisco-9-bike.shtml directions by bicycle cisco-9-drive-east.shtml driving directions from the east (Milpitas, Berryessa, East SJ, East Bay) cisco-9-drive-south.shtml driving directions from the south (downtown, south SJ, south county) cisco-9-drive-sw.shtml driving directions from the southwest (Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Santa Cruz) cisco-9-drive-west.shtml driving directions from the west (Mtn View, peninsula, SF) cisco-9-transit.shtml directions by public transit When this is done, I'll turn /home/httpd/html/directions/cisco-9.shtml (which will remain intact until its replacements are ready) into a redirect page pointing at cisco-9-intro.shtml. So there won't need to be immediate changes to other links on the site. Let's leave a redirect there permanently so we won't break people's bookmarks.

I agree, the redirect should stay for good, since SVLUG is so commonly pointed into it's hard to say how many sites have "building 9" pointed at directly that way.

We already do. That's been there for years. I just didn't list it in the summary. But it's on the page. http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9-drive-south.shtml#87-downtown Though you've gotten ahead of me. I was thinking for next month's meeting, when the BART SFO/Millbrae extension is supposed to be open, to add a separate page for "fly-in" directions from all the airports, airline and general aviation, using driving or transit from the airports. As a cleanup item, I should also add a note to the beginning of all sets of directions that will refer anyone to a different page... "If you are printing this set of directions, you'll also need [pages/links]." We'll also have some changes coming up in October. I noticed that VTA's announcement of their massive cutbacks actually has a huge *improvement* for SVLUG. All the buses from Fremont BART will be combined into one line that stops at the Great Mall and ends at Baypointe (which is 1/2 mile from Bldg 9 and 1 mile from Bldg J.) The buses previously went to central Milpitas or downtown SJ, both with inconvenient transfers to get anywhere near SVLUG. They were trying to make it so people have to jump on the light rail to get to downtown - but they'll practially drop people off at SVLUG. So that'll improve access to SVLUG for members from the East Bay - return buses should run late and non-stop to Fremont BART too.

I've been communicating the idea of coming to svlug to my group and there is quite a bit of enthusiasm for it. So the only question seems to be who and when. Since the two dates you proposed are fairly far out there, it looks like we could sign up for one and work out the details later. I don't have a preference between Aug 6 and Sep 3. What time of day is it? And where does it meet? I'll copy the other potential speakers from my group because they would probably be interested in attending as well, even though it looks like either day would work for me. thanks for helping us make the connection, Rob Barrett ****************************** They do CHI (Computer Human Interaction) research and are doing sysadmin research for IBM Global Services.

Bill Kendrick has ported a number of games to the Zaurus, and created the Unofficial Zaurus FAQ. He's currently president of the growing Linux Users' Group of Davis, near Sacramento. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Bill Kendrick is an Open Source software developer living in Davis, California, where he's the president, public relations officer and webmaster of the local 350-member Linux Users Group. He has written about 20 games for Linux and other platforms -- his most recent being 'Tux Paint', a drawing program geared towards young children. Bill created, but hasn't had the time recently to maintain, the "Unofficial Zaurus FAQ." He is active in numerous online communities. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

Just let us know what you need. We can even do 6PM if that's needed, though I'm not sure that's what Bill was asking for. (If we're there too early we'll just get in the way of the conference center staff configuring the room.) Any Cisco employee (including Tracy and me) or contractor (such as Dave Masten) can let him in. Sometimes Dave and I help stand in for Tracy since he has a long commute home to Antioch.

I ficed all the "up to intro" links so they work; they were pointing at the intro page as if it were in the docroot. After we get past the general mass of links from rel= entries (which lynx happily displays all smushed together) thinks look pretty good. My first thought is it might behave better if we use   in them. But, I worry if this disturbs SGML browsers which use the chapter links? So, I simply used this as a warning that things are pointing to #tags that don't exist or are really on a different sub-page than you must have originally planned. Unfortunately the into page itself still looks pretty odd, unless we introduce a #tag on it too and make the redirect go there. What do you think? Added targets: cisco-9-transit.shtml#transit cisco-9-bike.shtml#bike Fixed targets to correct subfile: page/section cisco-9-drive-sw.shtml#west-valley, "directions for Santa Clara" "alternate directions for Sunnyvale" line wrap problem here, based on PRE lineup: Building 9 is at Cisco's East Tasman campus, on East Tasman Dri ve, I tweaked it so it fits, by merging the crosstreets description into one line.

Of course we have airport directions :) which are useful to the speakers we have come in from wherever. I had been thinking more along the lines that we don't usually have herds of penguins flying in to see these talks, so splitting it off didn't make sense yet. But yes, if they're going to get that complicated, then sure, give it another page when you're ready. May as well add Reid-Hillview private airport, with a general suggestion that San Jose is much closer. A pal of mine who's a private pilot (though he sold his small plane sometime during the boom for an ok profit - he'd gotten the twin-engine hours he wanted) preferred to land at Reid-Hillview because the fees there are cheaper and there's no competing commercial traffic. > As a cleanup item, I should also add a note to the beginning of all sets > of directions that will refer anyone to a different page...

It looks like Ani is just making sure that the speaker he just signed up for August really is confirmed. Since Mr Barrett from IBM is OK with September as well, this doesn't sound like a conflict. Shall we give September 3 to him? And October 1 to Peter Thoeny for TWiki? (If not, pick the next available month. They're all unreserved after that.) So if we get these speakers to accept these dates then any of us can send the confirmation to the list to reserve it for them. A bunch of us are getting used to the protocol on the speakers list after Steve opened it up to wider membership (and turned the speaker coordination into a committee just before his daughter was born.)

It was on the subscription page... :-) http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/speakers As a subscriber to speakers at svlug.org, you can use this protocol to confirm speakers yourself. We're all getting used to this. Steve set it up last week before his daughter was born and he needed to turn speakers at svlug.org into a committee. Check the mail list archive to verify that no one else has confirmed a speaker for a given month yet. Then if you're the first to send a message titled like "CONFIRMED Month Year -- Speaker Name" then you locked it in. Just make sure the speaker has confirmed it in their own schedule before you do that.

Of course you did fine. Then again, when talking about Linux, LUGs are friendly audiences. They *want* you to succeed. That makes it a lot easier. So relax. :-) >I'd be happy to make my slides available. They're about ~700Kbytes in >OpenOffice ".sxi" format.

Either way works. What do you prefer? >Let me know. And thanks again! I'm glad I didn't faint or anything! :) Except that you mentioned something about being nervous at the opening, I never noticed anything. You got into the topic and sounded like you were talking about something you're very interested in, which is undoubtedly true. :-) I usually find when I'm talking to a group, I can do fine as long as I made my slides ahead of time and have enough familiarity with them to talk a little extra with each slide. One thing I'm not good at is "thinking on my feet" in front of a group (whether it's 20 or 200) so I need those slides to provide organization. But with the preparation, I feel no need to be nervous in front of a friendly audience. It just tends to work. Here's one presentation that Owen DeLong and I did for a Ham Radio club with 1 day's notice when their regularly-scheduled speaker got called out of town on a business trip. http://www.wvara.org/doc/2002-08-balloon-tracking/ And it seemed to work for all the same reasons for you yesterday.

First, I want to congratulate you all. Opening up the speakers list and turning the Speaker Coordinator's job into a "Program Committee" of sorts seems to be working -- we're booked until November. I suppose this should not have been a surprise; all we've done is open source (open org?) the coordination of speakers. Now that we have a comfortable cushion in the schedule, and to address a hole in the protocol, I've added a PROPOSED phase; see the three PROPOSED paragraphs in http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/speakers. In a nutshell, this adds an RFD-like discussion phase and helps people understand how they gain the authority to schedule speakers. This might have prevented Paul's uncertainty (below), for example. Paul, if you haven't figured it out yet, because you joined the speakers list, you *are* the contact. ;-) Go read the PROPOSED paragraphs in http://lists.svlug.org/lists/listinfo/speakers, and execute; you might be the first person to test the new protocol version.

WHAT: Strong Cryptography in the Linux Kernel WHEN: Wednesday, 02 Jul, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: David Bryson, Embedded Linux Engineer BACKGROUND: In 2.5, strong cryptography was incorporated into the kernel. This inclusion was a result of several motivating factors: remove duplicated code, harmonize IPv6/IPSec, and the usual crypto-paranoia. This talk will cover the history of the Cryptographic API, its current state, what kernel facilities are currently using it, which ones should be using it, plus future applications including: hardware and assembly cryptography drivers, hardware random number generation, and filesystem encryption. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: David is a Bay Area native and a Linux user since kernel 2.0.32(1998). He has written documentation and contributed code to the 'International Kernel Patch'(also known as CryptoAPI) as well as a widely used HOWTO 'The Linux CryptoAPI: A Users Perspective.' David has also spoken at several academic and technical conferences about cryptography on Linux. Currently he works as an embedded Linux engineer in the Bay Area while writing drivers for the 2.5 kernel Cryptographic API. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

Our meeting schedule is not totally final, but it seems likely we'll be meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month, thus putting our first meeting on July 10.

There has been a great deal of InfiniBand activity in the Linux space, particularly in the area of Linux based high performance computing clusters: http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS7459807643.html http://www.tgc.com/breaking/1142.html http://www.eetimes.com/pressreleases/prnewswire/84847 http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1142082,00.asp http://technet.oracle.com/deploy/availability/pdf/oracle_IB.pdf There are a number of interesting issues for the Linux community including the requirements needed to support the IETF IPoverIB draft RFC. Also interesting is how InfiniBand's kernel bypass and hardware transport mechanisms can be exploited by Linux based applications. There are a number of open source development programs supporting 10Gb/s InfiniBand development for Linux including SourceForge projects for InfiniBand and DAFS/DAPL (Direct Access File System and Programming Library), as well as several open source MPI (Message Passing Interface) implementations for Linux. These projects provide several APIs and implementations of transports which support kernel bypass operations allowing user space processes to communicate directly with remote processes using process virtual addresses and remote direct memory access (RDMA). Additional APIs such as Sockets Direct Protocol provide similar kernel bypass capabilities while preserving software compatibility with applications originally written to run above TCP transports. I would be happy to present the work that Intel, Network Appliance, Oracle, Mellanox, and others are doing in the InfiniBand space. Please let me know if there is interest in this topic at the SVLUG.

WHAT: Strong Cryptography in the Linux Kernel WHEN: Wednesday, 02 Jul, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: David Bryson, Embedded Linux Engineer BACKGROUND: In 2.5, strong cryptography was incorporated into the kernel. This inclusion was a result of several motivating factors: remove duplicated code, harmonize IPv6/IPSec, and the usual crypto-paranoia. This talk will cover the history of the Cryptographic API, its current state, what kernel facilities are currently using it, which ones should be using it, plus future applications including: hardware and assembly cryptography drivers, hardware random number generation, and filesystem encryption. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: David is a Bay Area native and a Linux user since kernel 2.0.32(1998). He has written documentation and contributed code to the 'International Kernel Patch'(also known as CryptoAPI) as well as a widely used HOWTO 'The Linux CryptoAPI: A Users Perspective.' David has also spoken at several academic and technical conferences about cryptography on Linux. Currently he works as an embedded Linux engineer in the Bay Area while writing drivers for the 2.5 kernel Cryptographic API. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

I would be in favor of using speakers at svlug.org for coordinating speakers for other LUGs in addition to SVLUG. I see no conflict; in fact, with a wider net, we should be able to pick up better speakers that way. We'd need to either do confirmations for other LUGs out of band, or modify the protocol to add a LUG prefix to "CONFIRMED" etc. This in effect sets up a "Linux and Open Source Speakers' Bureau" for the Bay Area, and helps integrate the LUGs better. This can only be good for SVLUG, Silicon Valley, and the open source community. The final word should be up to Don. Does anyone else have anything to add, pro or con? > Anyway, any suggestions for a speakr for our first meeting would be > welcome. Grab the Infiniband guy -- it's interesting stuff. Make sure to tell him it's a new LUG, very small audience, etc. Otherwise, pick up someone who we've confirmed for SVLUG but isn't speaking for a few more months, or look back through past postings in the Speakers archives; you should be able to find a few speakers that way.

Indeed on bad mornings it sometimes frightens me when I realize I have to go into work and use a Windows platform (but I know I'm not fully assimilated into the dark side because I still have a Linux box on my desk and run only Linux at home). In any case either solution you suggest is possible. One option is to have one of our senior architects, Diego Crupnicoff, present. He is intimately involved with both the hardware and driver development. Another alternative is to have one of the driver developers from Intel present. Let me know which you would prefer and I can try to arrange this.

Thanks. :) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

Ever since the Traugott baby was born, there has not been a single speaker coordinator. Instead, the subscribers of the speakers list are the coordinator team. Join the list, you're on the team. I think it's safe to say the reason your request hasn't been accomodated is that nobody with the right combination of privileges and desire has stepped forward.

It's as simple as Emailing web-team at svlug.org If nothing happens then, you should complain to officers at svlug.org In other words, confirmed speakers should all be listed on our web site Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.

My point though is that if you have 5 months worth with all the info we need, it's less work on the web team to update all 5 at once vs doing 5 updates for 1 month. > hereon> OK, so it's been 24 hrs.

WHAT: Locking Down Systems with Bastille Linux WHEN: Wednesday, 06 Aug, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Jay Beale, Lead Developer of Bastille Linux BACKGROUND: Bastille Linux hardens an operating system by deactivating unused programs or functionality, tweaking security-related settings, and employing other standard "tricks" like chroot prisons to block or contain attacks. Bastille currently locks down five Linux distributions, HP-UX and Mac OS X. This talk will introduce Bastille and explore how it can be easily extended to include new functionality, requiring only minimal knowledge of Perl. In the process of understanding how Bastille works, we'll discuss and demonstrate what actions Bastille takes on a sample system. This talk should prove useful to non-programmers who want to understand how to harden an operating system by hand or with automated tools. It will definitely be useful to Perl programmers who wish to extend Bastille. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Jay Beale is a security specialist focused on host lockdown and security audits. He is the Lead Developer of the Bastille project, which creates a hardening script for Linux, HP-UX, and Mac OS X, a member of the Honeynet Project, and a core participant in the Center for Internet Security. A frequent conference speaker and trainer, Jay speaks and trains at the Black Hat and LinuxWorld conferences, among others. A senior research scientist with the George Washington University Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute, Jay makes his living as a security consultant through Baltimore-based JJBSec, LLC, reachable via www.jjbsec.com. Jay writes the Center for Internet Security's Unix host security tool, currently in use worldwide by organizations from the Fortune 500 to the Department of Defense. He maintains the Center's Linux Security benchmark document and, as a core participant in the non-profit Center's Unix team, is working with private enterprises and US agencies to develop Unix security standards for industry and government. Aside from his CIS work, Jay has written a number of articles and book chapters on operating system security. He is a columnist for Information Security Magazine and previously wrote a number of articles for SecurityPortal.com and SecurityFocus.com. He authored the Host Lockdown chapter in 'Unix Unleashed,' served as the security author for 'Red Hat Internet Server' and co-authored 'Snort 2.0 Intrusion Detection.' Jay's currently finishing the Addison Wesley book, 'Locking Down Linux.' Formerly, he served as the Security Team Director for MandrakeSoft, helping set company strategy, design security products, and pushing security into the third largest retail Linux distribution. He now works to further the goal of improving operating system security.

If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

I started a company called Maxlinux Inc. though it is an idea in progress still in the startup funding stage and looking for partners/investors, I was asked to Speak at the LinuxCorp2003 conference in S?o Paulo Brazil July 1-2. It was just a 1/2 hour discussion on Linux migration and benchmarks. The idea behind Maxlinux is to create a single point of reference for a customized migration path to Linux. The other part of Maxlinux is to provide an environment to run benchmarks from lmbench to TPC-C on the Linux platform, compare white and black boxes and publish results on a website. As the TPC-C benchmark can be expensive some profit can be made making the equipment available along with the expertise in TPC-C. I have had contact with Conectiva, Consist, CA, MySQL, BEA, TPC.org, Performance Metrics, and the OSDL lab with regards to Maxlinux and they are interested in what happens with this idea. I propose having a discussion and talk about my experience in Brazil and what they are doing as far as Linux goes and get feedback from the group on what they think about the Idea behind Maxlinux. I went to LinuxWorld 2002 and got real good feedback on the concept. On August 13th I have a telephone meeting with Stuart Cohen the CEO of OSDL and would like to have the feedback from SVLUG. Let me know what you think about this. I will be at LinuxWorld AUG 5-7 and try to make the SVLUG meeting on the 6th, for sure I will be at the picnic on the 9th. ( I already RSVP'd ) but let me know if you need some help with the BBQ. Regards, Phil Pinkerton Maxlinux, Inc.

Your talk at Stanford is no longer posted there (or I can't find it). The facilities at Cisco have the usual items; projection screens, hookup for notebook, Net access..... I thought the talk at Stanford would fit the audience but anything advanced from the lab will work. svlug people are very tech savvy and very receptive to presentations. Meetings are 7-9 PM and you probably want to arrive 6-6:30 to set up. I will be glad to help bu I think ou are pretty self contained.

The other part of Maxlinux is to provide an environment to run benchmarks from lmbench to TPC-C on the Linux platform, compare white and black boxes and publish results on a website.

WHAT: System Administrators are Users Too WHEN: Wednesday, 03 Sep, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Rob Barret, IBM Almaden Research Center BACKGROUND: Most human-computer interaction work has focused on end users of computing systems. Another important class of computer users, however, is the cohort of administrators who design, build, maintain and troubleshoot computer systems. These highly-expert users are vital for the operation of our "e-everything" world, yet little effort has gone into studying their work and developing tools that help them be effective. This is especially important because the labor associated with operating large computational systems is increasingly outstripping the cost of the technology itself. Our research group is performing a series of ethnographic studies of system administrators in their work environments. This presentation will include results from these studies, as well as information developed at a CHI2003 workshop on system administrators as users; this workshop brought together researchers, developers, and practitioners from industria and academia. From this group and from our own work, a consistent set of paradoxes is beginning to emerge. First, tremendous effort has gone into the design of powerful GUI tools for system administration. Many tools have been developed and validated with established user-centered design methodologies. Yet field studies repeatedly find system administrators ignoring these tools and falling back on the standard command shell and least-common denominator tools such as 'grep' and 'vi'. Second, system administration is a highly collaborative activity, with a heavy dependence on instant messaging, email, telephone, and face-to-face interaction. Yet system administration tools rarely include collaboration aids, instead seemingly assuming that these workers toil away silently and alone. Third, effective operation and problem resolution requires an accurate mental model of how the system functions. "Situation awareness" theory dictates that a model starts with sensory input, develops with mental comprehension, and results in predictions of system behavior. Yet large-scale systems have few and unintegrated sensing mechanisms, and are too complex for any single person to comprehend, resulting in unpredictable behavior. This presentation will illustrate each of the three paradoxes with examples from field experience, and offer suggestions for how the HCI community can move forward to resolve them. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rob Barrett is a Research Staff Member at the IBM Almaden Research Center in California where he works in the Services Research group that aims to bring value from human-computer interaction research to the IBM Global Services organization. His current work focuses on the user experience of system administration and human aspects of autonomic computing. Previous work includes an intermediary approach to designing web applications, optimization of pointing devices, track-following servo systems for tape data storage, and atomic-scale imaging. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University and has earned masters and bachelors degrees in physics, electrical engineering and theology. He has over 40 refereed publications and 16 patents in fields ranging from applied math to physics and computer science. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

Obviously, we appreciate the good work that LUGs like yours continue to do in spreading the word about Linux, and we want to support your efforts in a way that will help build your meeting attendance, while making financial sense for us. You can read about our LUG program in more detail here: http://www.codeweavers.com/about/partners/lugs.php In a nutshell, here's the basic message we're trying to get out to the LUGs: 1) First off, we're happy to speak at LUG meetings. Here in the U.S., we have employees in St. Paul, MN, and the Bay area in California. Abroad, we can be found in Toronto, Canada; Oxford, England; Paris, France; Irkutsk, Russia; and Seoul, Korea. If your LUG is near one of these locations, we'll strongly consider making an appearance. And if you want to buy us a plane ticket, or if we can find a good excuse to come to your neck of the woods, we'll try and come visit you. 2) Second, we're happy to provide demonstration product for use as door prizes, giveaways, etc. for your meetings. We've put together a couple of chotski packages specifically for LUGs. These include free CodeWeavers products, as well other goodies for your meeting. You can see these packages here http://www.codeweavers.com/about/partners/lugs_chotskis.php. We very much appreciate any feedback you might have on our new LUG program, so please do feel free to write me directly regarding anything we could be doing better in this regard. And finally, if you want never to hear from us EVER again on this subject, please feel free to reply back and we'll make sure that that happens, pronto. Thanks again for your time.

Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com From stevegt at svlug.org Tue Sep 2 23:26:29 2003 From: stevegt at svlug.org (stevegt@svlug.org) Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2003 23:26:29 -0700 Subject: [Speakers] REMINDER: SVLUG Sep 03: Rob Barret: System Administrators are Users Too Message-ID: We're pleased to announce the next meeting of the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group! WHAT: System Administrators are Users Too WHEN: Wednesday, 03 Sep, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Rob Barret, IBM Almaden Research Center BACKGROUND: Most human-computer interaction work has focused on end users of computing systems. Another important class of computer users, however, is the cohort of administrators who design, build, maintain and troubleshoot computer systems. These highly-expert users are vital for the operation of our "e-everything" world, yet little effort has gone into studying their work and developing tools that help them be effective. This is especially important because the labor associated with operating large computational systems is increasingly outstripping the cost of the technology itself. Our research group is performing a series of ethnographic studies of system administrators in their work environments. This presentation will include results from these studies, as well as information developed at a CHI2003 workshop on system administrators as users; this workshop brought together researchers, developers, and practitioners from industria and academia. From this group and from our own work, a consistent set of paradoxes is beginning to emerge. First, tremendous effort has gone into the design of powerful GUI tools for system administration. Many tools have been developed and validated with established user-centered design methodologies. Yet field studies repeatedly find system administrators ignoring these tools and falling back on the standard command shell and least-common denominator tools such as 'grep' and 'vi'. Second, system administration is a highly collaborative activity, with a heavy dependence on instant messaging, email, telephone, and face-to-face interaction. Yet system administration tools rarely include collaboration aids, instead seemingly assuming that these workers toil away silently and alone. Third, effective operation and problem resolution requires an accurate mental model of how the system functions. "Situation awareness" theory dictates that a model starts with sensory input, develops with mental comprehension, and results in predictions of system behavior. Yet large-scale systems have few and unintegrated sensing mechanisms, and are too complex for any single person to comprehend, resulting in unpredictable behavior. This presentation will illustrate each of the three paradoxes with examples from field experience, and offer suggestions for how the HCI community can move forward to resolve them. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rob Barrett is a Research Staff Member at the IBM Almaden Research Center in California where he works in the Services Research group that aims to bring value from human-computer interaction research to the IBM Global Services organization. His current work focuses on the user experience of system administration and human aspects of autonomic computing. Previous work includes an intermediary approach to designing web applications, optimization of pointing devices, track-following servo systems for tape data storage, and atomic-scale imaging. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Stanford University and has earned masters and bachelors degrees in physics, electrical engineering and theology. He has over 40 refereed publications and 16 patents in fields ranging from applied math to physics and computer science. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there! From jroberts at panasas.com Thu Sep 4 13:55:51 2003 From: jroberts at panasas.com (Roberts, Judy) Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 13:55:51 -0700 Subject: [Speakers] SVLUG - Proposal for February Presentation Message-ID: <1349BBA27FB5074AA31242A4C319AC519A6789@pocono.ca.panasas.com> Joyce, Here is what we are proposing. We've attended a few SVLUG meetings and think it would be a topic of good general interest. Please let me know if this is appropriate for your group. Cluster Computing Data Management: Experiences and Best Practices Bruce Moxon, Manager, Vertical Markets, Panasas As Linux Cluster Computing continues its high rate of adoption, more and more organizations are faced with data management challenges posed by emerging distributed computing approaches. Large-scale cluster and grid computing approaches are based on the ability to decompose a compute workload into thousands or millions of tasks, each of which is executed independently (or almost independently). This strategy requires the creation and management of data partitions and replicas that are used by the compute nodes. Management of these partitions and replicas poses a number of operational challenges, especially in large cluster and grid computing environments, and in environments where core datasets change regularly. This presentation will identify and explore these challenges, and will present solutions drawing on common approaches used in implementing "high throughput" applications. Examples will draw from multiple disciplines, including life sciences, earth sciences, and government and commercial applications. Please let me know what is required to get on the February calendar. And thanks very much for the consideration!

Sorry for not answering sooner. I was away on a Stratofox trip to a rocket launch all week. (Stratofox is another SIG of sbay.org, like SVLUG.) The network in the conference center has DHCP at the podium. The projection screens can take S-Video input, but I've never seen that feature used at an SVLUG meeting before. Cable TV is not available in Bldg 9. (Cisco has its own on-site cable TV system in other buildings for testing cable routers and marketing to cable company customers. But it isn't available at the conference center last I heard.) From ikluft at thunder.sbay.org Sat Sep 20 18:08:58 2003 From: ikluft at thunder.sbay.org (Ian Kluft) Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2003 18:08:58 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Speakers] BAFUG interested in speaker pool Message-ID: Elliott Chuang (pronounced like Chung), coordinator of the Bay Area FreeBSD User Group (BAFUG) cited the ability to cooperate on speakers as a big draw for BAFUG joining as a SIG of sbay.org. (Above the kernel level, Linux and the *BSDs run the same software. So for non-kernel software talks, we're interested in most of the same topics.) And we already have participation from PenLUG and LUGoD on the speakers list. I'd like to float the idea of either moving the speakers list to sbay.org or create a new domain for it. The thought behind that is to be inclusive of the BSD folks, to make it an Open Source groups effort and not just Linux-specific. I'd like to find something less of a mouthful than the Silicon Valley Open Source Speaker Coordinators, but that's the idea. Maybe do like sbay.org and just call it by a domain name. svspeakers.org isn't taken. Or it would be trivial (and free) to create a subdomain speakers.sbay.org. Actually, no one asked me to do this. Elliott was often mixing up sbay.org and SVLUG while promoting the idea to his group to join sbay.org. So the affiliation with Linux groups obviously is not an issue. But now that BAFUG has stuck their neck out to join with us, I'd like to make an effort to welcome and include them as equals. I'd like to make sure this works for all of us for the long term. Any thoughts or comments?

Perhaps it shouldn't really be "POSIX"-ish-specific, at all (e.g., Linux or BSD). It should include all walks of Open Source life...

(think OpenOffice.org >running on Windows :^) ) Hmmm... that was the only comment? Maybe everyone's waiting for me to respond to this point. :-) More likely everyone's just been busy. But maybe if we're lucky it means there are no objections. Anyway, among the groups involved in the speaker coordination now (SVLUG, PenLUG, LUGoD, BALUG(?), and now BAFUG), we are all "POSIX-ish-specific" as you called it. If we call it svspeakers.org or speakers.sbay.org, that leaves it open for future widening of the scope should we get more volunteers willing to handle that expansion. There are several aspects of this I'm interested to know, mainly that this effort to accomodate BSD groups doesn't step on any existing volunteers' toes. For example... * Marc maintains the MailMan server - and if he feels any personal attachment to having the speakers list on his server, then let's create a new domain so that it's still a virtual domain on his machine. But if he doesn't care, then the new domain or subdomain hosting the list could be on either his server or mine, for example. * Steve and Joyce have been leading the speaker coordination since they used to do all the work themselves for SVLUG. If they have a preference on this, I'm interested to hear it. A meritocracy recognizes the hardest workers. * Other volunteers who have joined the list since then (i.e. Ani, Bill W Bill K, etc) may have preferences too. If anyone has objections, that's the first thing I want to know. I'm sort of tip-toeing around the fact that I don't know if anyone has concerns. Respond in private if you don't feel comfortable saying so on the list. If I don't hear any responses by tomorrow (Tuesday), I'll contact Steve/Joyce and Marc to check how they'd like to proceed.

We have two speaker slots for each meeting: a half-hour "nuts & bolts" talk which is more of a "how to" for beginning to intermediate users, and a one hour "keynote" talk which is a traditional LUG style talk. (We also have a half hour "app of the month club" session at the end.) We prefer to focus more on things like programming, GUI apps, clever uses of Linux, etc., and less on system administration type topics. If you know of any speakers who would be good candidates, please let me know. --Bill. -- William R Ward bill at wards.net http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER, CLOSED COURSE.

My personal attachment wouldn't be relevant anyway :) Either one is fine. For sbay.org, I can just give you the mailman membership pickle and you can copy it over, or you can re-subscribe people from a list dump.

Re: moving the list -- we'd need to also do other work. The problem is, we still need a way to coordinate, among interested LUG members, who the speaker will be for each LUG for each month. The protocol we have right now for the speakers list takes care of that, but won't work for a truly shared list. If anyone wants to enhance the protocol (maybe by prepending a group name to the CONFIRMED subject etc.), then the list might be more movable and sharable. But next we'll have volume problems. What I'd really like to see is a CGI to handle votes on speakers as well as confirmations, generate RSS so that groups can populate their web pages, etc. The SVLUG speakers data flow right now is horribly broken; after confirmation, Joyce digs the talk and bio out of the speakers list archives, manually edits the SVLUG home page, and manually edits the meetings page. Then I later manually cut and paste Joyce's text from the web page into an XML document, which I then run a Perl script against to generate the monthly announcement mail. Then Margaret manually extracts from that email text to notify the Merc. Then I later go back and edit the mail to add the REMINDER tag on the subject and resend it the day before the meeting. Way too much manual repetition in there, every month. And I usually forget to do my parts early enough. We can't even cron any of this in the state it's in right now. I keep threatening to automate large chunks of the process, and the XML code was a start. It would be worth doing if we were doing something with a much wider audience, and the amount of work would be about the same -- I'd go ahead and make it global.

Pl. bear with me. I'm really curious to know as to what has happened to my original e-mail to Guido, CC'd to speakers list. It has not reached the speakers list.

I think, sometimes ignorance is bliss! E-mail is essentially a connectionless protocol. After I had sent my first e-mail to you at svlug.org alias and didn't receive a response I thought what if there is a problem with the mail system, it may not reach him at all ... Once again, NO offenses intended.

WHAT: Cluster Filesystem Design on Linux WHEN: Wednesday, 05 Nov, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Wim Coekaerts, Oracle's Linux guru BACKGROUND: An indepth look at a cluster filesystem for linux designed for database operations and the future direction of the project to move towards designing a general purpose cluster filesystem. Includes a demo and a description of how to set up a cheap homebrew cluster using firewire storage. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Wim Coekaerts is Director of Linux Engineering Corporate Architecture for Oracle Corporation. His group looks at how Linux needs to evolve and how Oracle can contribute to ensuring large enterprise companies can adopt it quickly. Within Oracle's "Linux kernel group", Mr. Coekaerts is involved in prototyping and doing research in clustering technologies in Linux as well as single node features. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

Is that permitted by the venue? Since we don't normally have food at the meetings, I'm not sure if it's not allowed, there's a tradition against it, or just that most vendors don't feel like paying for it. I need to know today if I should order pizza. And if so, how many people should I order for? How many pizzas should I get? What toppings? --Bill. -- William R Ward bill at wards.net http://www.wards.net/~bill/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER, CLOSED COURSE.

And if so, how many >people should I order for? How many pizzas should I get? What >toppings? My information is from when SVLUG initially started meeting at Cisco in Bldg J in 1998. At the time, there was no outside food service allowed due to a union agreement related to the cafeteria in the same building. I don't know if anything has changed in Bldg 9 (since the HQ cafeteria is in Bldg 11) or for other reasons over the past 5 years.

Message-ID: <20031106000516.GA3752@penguincomputing.com> Steve... Hope all is well...How are you enjoying being speaker coordinator? I was hoping I could get someone on the schedule. Don Becker, the inventor of Beowulf, as well as the author of many of the linux networking drivers would like to speak on "High Performance Computing with Scyld Beowulf." Here's his Bio... Donald J. Becker is known throughout the international community of operating-system developers for his contributions to networking software. In addition, Becker was one of the founders of the Beowulf effort, which is the cornerstone for commodity-based high-performance cluster computing. He is the CTO of Scyld, which was recently acquired by Penguin Computing. Becker's work in parallel and distributed computing began in 1983 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Real Time Systems group, where he designed performance monitoring hardware and system software as a participant in the MIT Concert Multiprocessor project. >From 1990 to 1994 he was on the research staff of the Institute for Defense Analyses Supercomputing Research Center, working on parallel compilers, specialized computational techniques, and various networking projects. In early 1994 Becker joined USRA-CESDIS at the Goddard Space Flight Center to start the Beowulf Parallel Workstation project. While at CESDIS, he not only lead the Beowulf team but also continued to contribute extensively to the Linux kernel, most visibly in providing very broad support for networking devices. Becker is a co-author of How To Build a Beowulf: A guide to the Implementation and Application of PC Clusters (MIT Press, 1999) and a co-editor of the Extreme.Linux CD-ROM, the first packaged Beowulf software distribution. With colleagues from the California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech) and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Becker was the recipient of the IEEE Computer Society 1997 Gordon Bell Prize for Price/Performance. In 1999 Becker received the Dr. Dobb's Excellence in Programming Award, which is presented annually to individuals who, "in the spirit of innovation and cooperation, have made significant contributions to the advancement of software development."

Or if that's too far in the future, SVLUG's schedule backlog (a recent problem ever since Steve opened up the list for more of us to recruit speakers :-) we're also cooperating with PenLUG (the new Peninsula LUG which meets at Oracle in Redwood City), LUGoD (Davis), SacLUG (Sacramento) and BAFUG (Bay Area FreeBSD User Group which meets in Millbrae) for arranging speakers on Open Source topics. So if SVLUG's April date doesn't work well, let's consider one of the other groups who can probably host him sooner. Or if he wants to speak at more than one group at different times, that's up to him - he'll be welcome however he wants to handle it.

I'm referring to a process knows as interior re-design. It's where you take existing furniture and rearrange what you already own, add new pieces where needed, and redo the living spaces your members inhabit to make them more aesthetically and functionally pleasing. I've done this before for other engineers and they really appreciated the effort. I was thinking your group might be interested in hearing more about this via a free seminar and hand outs on how to make their places more liveable and attractive. God knows you all work hard enough; it'd be nice to come home to someplace that would restore your energy while you relaxed. I also wanted to know if you accept any advertising and if so how frequently and at what cost. Thanks for any information you can share with me.

Kunz: Bringing the Web to America Message-ID: We're pleased to announce the next meeting of the Silicon Valley Linux Users Group! WHAT: Bringing the Web to America WHEN: Wednesday, 03 Dec, 7pm-9pm or so. WHO: Paul F. Kunz, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) BACKGROUND: On 12 December 1991, Paul Kunz installed the first Web server outside of Europe at SLAC. Today, if you do not have access to the Web you are considered disadvantaged. Before it made sense for Tim Berners-Lee to invent the Web at CERN, there had to a number of ingredients in place. Paul will present a history of how these ingredients were developed and the role the academic research community had in producing them. In particular, he will address the role played by big science including high energy physics in giving us the World Wide Web and the Internet as we know it today. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Paul Kunz received his Ph. D. from Princeton University in 1968 and first went to CERN that year to do an experiment as a member of the Saclay group. In 1971 he went on to Michigan State and worked on one of the first experiments at Fermilab. He joined SLAC in 1974 where he has been ever since. In the late 1970s, Dr. Kunz invented the 168/E emulators and the concept of event processing via parallel processor farms. Dr. Kunz has been a pioneer amongst physics colleagues in adopting new computer technologies. Examples include his move to UNIX and object oriented programming over ten years ago. Lately, he has been giving a course, "C++ for Particle Physicists," a course that has now been held fifty-one times all over the world for more than 1700 students. WHERE: Cisco Building 9. The land of NUMBERS. The VINEYARDS conference center. The side we are on is the Silver Oak/Jordan conference rooms, where a large Cisco fountain is usually not turned on. Directions on how to get there are listed at: http://www.svlug.org/directions/cisco-9.shtml We've tried our very best for these directions to be accurate. If you have any improvements to make, please let our Web Team know! web-team at svlug.org NOTES: It's best if you arrive close to on time, as otherwise there may not be someone posted at the door to let you in. After the speakers end their presentation there is usually a Q&A session, time for job seekers and employers to meet, and often a few door prizes. When the meeting is over people are encouraged to chat a bit, but also to exit the building so Cisco can lock up. Don't worry, a lot of us go to dinner afterward so there's plenty of time to chat outdoors or offsite. We look forward to seeing you there!

We offer a low cost solution which automates the management and distribution of critical patches that resolve known security vulnerabilities and other stability issues in all Microsoft, various UNIX and Linux, and recent Novell and Macintosh operating systems ( .40 cents per node per year ): * Locates and retrieves patches automatically. Deploys them at your discression. * Is easier to understand and implement - one that doesn't involve multiple or complicated interfaces. * Can validate what patches have been installed on every computer, AND the status of all patches and updates on any computer at any point in time. FACT: According to data from the FBI and Carnegie Mellon University, more than 90% of all security breaches involve a software vulnerability caused by a missing patch that the IT department already knows about. Even the SQL Slammer worm, which caused IT managers across the globe plenty of headaches, could have been avoided if a patch that was available six months earlier had been applied. Thank you for your consideration, I look forward to your reply.
