We have about a dozen machines to install with GNU-Linux. Mostly detail work (packing notebooks up, numbering them). If there's human resources and interest, post installation work could be done (log in, connect to the wifi, validate that a browser works -- that sort of thing. Q/A basically. Bring USB sticks with Lubuntu 12.04 on them. If you don't have that, Ubuntu 12.04 will do. No need to worry about UEFI. Please also bring everything that you would need to triage hardware. Screw drivers, needle nose pliers, etc. When you arrive, please text or call Christian at 415-351-1300 so that I can let you in, as the school is quite large, and you could get lost. Thanks! </pre> Christian Einfeldt 2013-04-27T22:56:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.balug/2258 <pre> The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting: Monday May 20, 2013 7:00pm - 9:00pm Presentation: Smart Static Sites with Hakyll by Eric Rasmussen An overview of modern static site generators with a focus on Hakyll (http://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/), a Haskell-based DSL (domain-specific language) for generating static websites and blogs (no Haskell knowledge required).

We believe that open source tools can bring the transparency that this system needs, and have formed a Meetup group in San Francisco to discuss open source /open data finance concepts. Our next Meetup is Wednesday, February 20th at 6:00 PM at the offices of Kaggle, 188 King Street Unit 502, San Francisco, CA. To attend in person, please join the Open Source Finance Meetup &lt;http://www.meetup.com/Open-Source-Finance&gt; group and RSVP. A description of this meeting follows: Rating agency assessments of sovereign debt have been in the news for some time. In 2011, S&amp;P faced enormous criticism for downgrading the US, while all agencies have been criticized for downgrading Greece too late and for discriminating against emerging market countries. Less is said about US state bond ratings, but interested observers might wonder why California is still rated lower than many toxic assets despite balancing its budget. Instead of analyst discretion, sovereign and state credit ratings can and should be calculated with transparent, open source computer models. Last year, I introduced such a model - the &lt;http://www.publicsectorcredit.org/pscf.html&gt; Public Sector Credit Framework - which I will demonstrate. The tool uses a combination of Excel and C to perform a multi-year fiscal simulation on the target government. No food this time, but we are offering a virtual meeting alternative. Up to 24 remote attendees can access the session using GoToMeeting. There is no charge for attending a GoToMeeting but you do have to download a small client app. Most major platforms are supported.

About the Speaker: Joseph Arruda is Senior Product Manager at SugarCRM, focusing on mobile and cloud-based initiatives for both outward bound products and internal tools. He has been described as an open source geek, a policy wonk, and even a bit of a creative illustrator. (Joe was also in attendance at LUGOD's second-ever meeting, in January 1999.) About SugarCRM: SugarCRM produces a customer relationship management (CRM) system that is available in both open source and commercial applications. SugarCRM's functionality includes sales-force automation, marketing campaigns, customer support, collaboration, mobile CRM, social CRM and reporting.

With such use, it acts as a server, and one can reconnect to it, e.g. by using emacsclient. Thanks also to BabyCenter.com for providing earlier copy of highly similar set of "slides" (I'd earlier done highly similar presentation at BabyCenter.com, but unintentionally lost my BALUG set of "slides" before archiving them for BALUG.

The front area has common and co-working spaces for tech collaboration, and the back area is a maker- and hacker-space with access to metal- and wood-working equipment as well as electronics equipment (oscilloscopes, spare parts, breadboards, etc...) This talk will be a quick walk down memory lane from Charles' days at UC Davis in the mid-90's, and how that experience led him to co-found the Hacker Lab. He'll discuss why Sacramento needs another hacker-space, and what Hacker Lab and the Linux Users' Group of Davis can do for each other. Anniversary Celebration: This meeting marks the 14th anniversary of the founding of the Linux Users' Group of Davis. To celebrate, we'll be providing free pizza, snacks, drinks and birthday cake. We'll also have give-away prizes, including a number of books donated by O'Reilly Media.

Until very recently, haven't had any significant issues with the Pac Bell/SBC/AT&amp;T POTS service or the Raw Bandwidth DSL service on the line. Starting rather recently (not sure precisely when it started), been having funky intermittent issue with the POTS service (but no DSL problems). Symptoms have included such funkiness as: phone rings once - I wait for a 2nd ring to pick it up - 2nd ring doesn't come, I pick it up after 2nd ring should have occurred but doesn't, caller is still there. Folks calling my number report intermittently having it answered by a live woman live (not recording or machine or the like) but staticy/noisy connection - this seems to happen intermittently (happened and reported to me by two different people that called me today - but about half of those calls apparently are making it through to my phone and me). Anyway, something funky with the POTS service - exceedingly improbable to be "inside wire", so I call 611 for AT&amp;T's service. Both when I called many hours ago earlier today, and also when I check again, starting to "walk the menu" for service, I encounter: &lt;dialed 611&gt; &lt;AT&amp;T tones play&gt; Welcome to 611 repair service. Please use your Touch-Tone keypad to choose where to direct your call. &lt;Spanish&gt; For repair to your home or business land line, press 1, ... &lt;pressed 1&gt; Thank you for calling AT&amp;T. If your call is regarding a DSL service, unfortunately there is a major issue that is preventing customers from connecting to the DSL network at this time. DSL support is working on the issue and will not be able to assist you at this time. If your call is not regarding a DSL service, please remain on the line. Thank You. So, in over 12 years with the POTS line and over 9 years of Raw Bandwidth DSL on that line, the first time I ever call AT&amp;T service, not only do they tell me (without my even asking) that their AT&amp;T DSL service has a major issue, but, out of curiosity when I check back (more than two) hours later, they continue to tell me they're still having a major DSL issue. I hope that's not AT&amp;T's typical DSL status, but thus far 100% of the time that's what they've reported to me via their repair service. Comparatively, with Raw Bandwidth, in over 9 years, they've only had one single outage that was long enough that I ever even noticed (it was some hours or so), and Raw Bandwith was excellent on reporting status, progress, estimated time to resolution, etc., and what the problem/issue was (yes, it was an upstream AT&amp;T problem). Other than that, I've never even noticed a Raw Bandwith outage they've been so short (but have had emails from Raw Bandwidth, when they've had outages, reporting the start time and end time (and short duration - often on the order of minutes or less) of outage - typically that's the only way I even know they had any outage at all). Now, ... if I can just get AT&amp;T to get their POTS service working reliably again. Shouldn't be *too* hard, ... they've had lots more decades to practice that. Yeah, I called this afternoon, they say they'll have it fixed by end of business Thursday. references: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2012-December/004896.html et. seq., e.g. also: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2012-December/date.html http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2012q4/date.html etc. </pre> Michael Paoli 2012-12-19T02:52:26 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.balug/2157 <pre>Whether you missed the meeting or want to see/review the materials: From our 2012-06-19 BALUG meeting: Raspberry Pi presented by Allan Cecil Have a look at materials here: http://www.archive.balug.org/2012/2012-06-19/ The video covers much, but not all of the presentation.

This is your chance. Speaker Rick Moen is going to start from novice levels only, and give a general and pragmatic guide to Linux security primarily for desktop and casual users who nonetheless would like to have a decent grasp of the basics. ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Rick Moen (http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/) is longtime senior system administrator and member of SVLUG's Web Team, who also runs nearby Linux user group CABAL (http://linuxmafia.com/cabal/), meeting at his and his wife's house in West Menlo Park, and has been fooling with various Unixes since the 1980s. Having formerly been a technical employee at several Linux firms (Linuxcare, VA Linux Systems, and California Digital Corp.) during decades past, he stresses that it's not his fault and he has an alibi.
