There have been schedule changes. The schedule looks like this until someone gives me reason to change it: 2/21/2002 ARM Linux on the iPAQ: Handheld Linux Paul L. Snyder Netaxs 3/6/2002 Graphic tools in Linux Leonard Rosenthol USP 4/3/2002 Beowulf Linux Clustering Guillermo Moyna USP 5/1/2002 Regular Expressions Keith USP 6/5/2002 samba installation and configuration Joe Coyle USP 7/3/2002 GNU Hurd operating system Marc Soda USP 8/7/2002 XML topic map open-source toolkit Sam Hunting USP 9/4/2002 Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) (a programming library for multimedia and games) Edward Smola USP 12/4/2002 the implementation and internals of well-known Unix commands like 'cat', 'ls', 'mount', and 'pwd', or email suggestions to presenter Mark Jason Dominus USP ? the BSDs Gabriel Rosenkoetter Netaxs ? Writing Linux kernel modules Michael Toren Netaxs If you are one of the scheduled presentors listed above, please verify that the information on your presentation is acceptable - the date of your presentation, the way I wrote your name, the wording of the subject of your presentation, any links (on the meetings page) - I am very open to modifying these things to suit your preferences. Lots more info can be found at http://www.PhillyLinux.org/meetings.html Managing this schedule is a trip, I assure you. Today both of the presentors scheduled for the next two months informed met they were not going to be able to give their presentations. Edward Smola has not been able to prepair, and Walt Mankowski may be moving. Leonard Rosenthol and Guillermo Moyna very graciously voluntered to take their places. Leonard will be discussing graphic tools in Linux in March. Guillermo, our host at USP, will be discussing his Beowulf cluster in April. Guillermo's Beowulf website is how I initially found USP which lead (with Guillermo's assistance) to our meetings being held there. Things discussed at the meeting: As initially mentioned on the list by Bill Jonas, Microcenter has a sale on APC Back-UPS Pro 1100s for $150 a piece: http://www.microcenterorder.com/product.phtml?sku=041509 I have had great success with the UPS monitoring software "nut": http://www.exploits.org/nut/ I should mention I had to exchange one of the UPSes I purchased, but this was easy. There will be a Philadelphia Area Debian Society (PADS) meeting on March 20th at 133 North 43 st. (intersection of 4th & Cherry). The subject will be building Debian packages. I believe the presentor is Paul Snyder. See http://www.cjfearnley.com/pads/ for more info - click "mailing list" to recieve up to date information. I counted 26 people at the meeting. No keysigning happened due to lack of new participants with fingerprints. I am optomistic that one will happen next meeting. I think you should now reply to this thread with things you felt were interesting about tonight's meeting (if you were there). -- "Every man, woman and child on the face of this earth is at the mercy of chaos." - a maxwell smart movie http://www.ChaosReigns.com Attachment:
