[SLUG] Fwd: RE-ANNOUNCE: July Sydney DevOps Meeting - Thursday 22 July
-- Forwarded message -- From: Mick Pollard aussielu...@gmail.com Date: Jul 19, 9:01 am Subject: RE-ANNOUNCE: July Sydney DevOps Meeting - Thursday 22 July To: DevOps Australia Hi All, On Fri, Jul 16, 2010 at 2:26 PM, Lindsay Holmwood lind...@holmwood.id.auwrote: Hey all, There's been a date change, so I'm re-announcing the July Sydney DevOps Meeting: When: THURSDAY, July 22nd, doors open 18.15 for 18.30 start Where: Atlassian, 173-185 Sussex St, Sydney The meeting will be 45 minutes of talks, then heading off to the Redoak for drinks and dinner. Tentative speakers include: - Mick Pollard on bootstrapping your devs with libvirt, kickstart and Puppet Just to extend on this a little. At $WORK we let our devs choose the OS (*nix) for their workstation and set it up the way that suits them best. This helps with their productivity as they get to work with their favourite tools etc but it presents the problem that they are no longer developing on systems that look like a customers Prod. environment. With mostly all machines of today having a ton of RAM and KVM being in the mainline kernel now it became easy to give them access to what's needed to build their own VM's that mimic the customers production environment. This Thursday I will demonstrate how we make use of libvirt,(plus assoc. tools), kickstart, a yum mirror and puppet to accomplish this. Feel free to bring a laptop with libvirt + the packages that provide 'virt-install + virsh + virt-viewer' and participate. There's an excellent video + presentation up at [1] by R.I. Pienaar that talks about this subject that's worth watching if you haven't already. - Tim Moore on Lightweight Monitoring and Information Radiators - Lindsay Holmwood on Visage See you there!

Re: [SLUG] today's scary thought
Hope this helps. (Understanding, that is -- I know it doesn't help solve anything.) Talk is cheap. Show me the code. Linus. So when is google docs getting the time spent actively viewing count for a document? This would be a neat thing to have. So who is going to add this feature to bzr or hg ;P ? However, Jeff's zeitgeis is pretty neat. self._cursor.execute(INSERT OR IGNORE INTO uri (value) %s ...???... perhaps I didn't want to see the code ;P -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] SLUG monthly meeting: 26 June 2010
Tor is a security tool that allows people to access with internet with privacy and security. This presentation will describe how it works, how to set it up as a user, how to set up Firefox to use Tor, how to set up a Tor relay and how to help the Tor project. I will be interested in hearing how tor is a security tool. Tor can help you against an attacker on the *local* network, but it can also introduce problems if you do not understand what is 'secure' on the web and what is not. What tor really needs *now* is: *more* *bridges* ! *not* *relays* ! http://www.torproject.org/bridges http://metrics.torproject.org/graphs.html -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] SLUG Membership decline
From my perspective, the talks given at atlassian were always good or interesting. Some of the talks when slug has been at google have been less interesting. While there have been a few BOF's which have been great - like the multimedia one which would be an interesting talk on its own, there seems to be a reduction in interesting or informative talks. I remember listening to a talk on video editing which was really informative from some one who was more of an end user of linux than a dev. When people get busy / have other things on they are less likely to attend unless there is good a social side or an interest side. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
