  This month PLUG welcomes Eric Johnson, who will be giving a presentation
  entitled 'An Introduction to Machine Control with EMC2'. EMC2 (Enhanced
  Machine Control) is an open source software system for computer control of
  machine tools such as milling machines, lathes and even robots.

  This presentation will discuss the use of Linux and EMC for machining, and
  along the way touch on such topics as basic machining concepts, "G-Code"
  the language of machining, coordinate systems, hard real-time in Linux,
  interfacing to real world hardware, Robots, Fabs (3D Printers) and a couple
  of other open source projects related to EMC.

  The presentation will include a demonstration of the software and a show
and tell of
  some of the hardware to which it can interface.

  This month PLUG welcomes back Kyle Burton, who will be giving a
  presentation entitled "Leveraging Chef-Solo for Less than Enterprise-
  Scale Deployments."  Kyle has previously given this talk at PLUG West
  and PLUG Central.

    "When you're a small, and I mean small, company with an even smaller
    IT department you can't afford not to automate provisioning and system
    administration. Developing a culture of automation early on is vital
    for ensuring that your infrastructure group can scale itself as your
    business grows. Chef is an up and coming system administration
    automation framework that makes installing and managing cloud
    computing systems take less time and produces more consistent results.

    This talk will cover the architecture of Chef-Solo, getting started,
    core features and best practices for maintainng a cluster of systems."
