possible speaker for Jan 16
by jim stockford 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

the Gumstix PR guy got back to me and it looks like someone from Gumstix might be able to speak. I've marked a 'P' for possible in the January column of the speaker tracking wiki page. I have only the littlest clue as to when someone really can come speak, but at least there's a little action. jim

(forw) Re: Cisco Systems, Inc. is hiring
by Rick Moen 17 Nov '06

17 Nov '06

I notice that about 2/3 of these recruiters just lob their jobs postings towards any-old-where, and say only that they want personal help from some unspecified stranger (that would be me) in posting to "your site". I've conversed with some of them, and uniformly they really have no idea what they mean by "site" in this context; they figure you'll work hard to _figure out_ somewhere, as if figuring out where to put their posts is somehow _your_ problem. And they never, ever read documentation. These people are paid for _what_, again? (Jim feel free to post this on the SF-LUG page, if you wish. I'm sure she'll get around to you sooner or later, anyway.) ----- Forwarded message from "Marisela Peifer -X (mpeifer - Spherion at Cisco)" <mpeifer(a)cisco.com> ----- Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:09:08 -0700 From: "Marisela Peifer -X (mpeifer - Spherion at Cisco)" <mpeifer(a)cisco.com> To: balug-announce-owner(a)lists.balug.org Subject: Cisco Systems, Inc. is hiring Hi Chris, I would like to post to your site and let the users know that Cisco Systems, Inc. is hiring in San Jose, CA.

BALUG doesn't have a real jobs forum, though I can recommend some others nearby -- and balug-announce is mostly for announcements of BALUG events. One exception (see http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-talk-balug.org): Any firm is welcome post Linux-related jobs listings to the main BALUG list if it simultaneously offers to provide a technical speaker (on a Linux topic) for one of BALUG's monthly meetings in San Francisco. Aside from that, I can recommend either the SVLUG Jobs mailing list or the equivalent one at BayLISA. URLs are on the page indicated above. Good hunting! ----- End forwarded message -----

announcement DRAFT: News & BALUG 2006-11-21: Marilyn Davis
by Michael Paoli 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Well, for 2006-11-21 I don't have precise/specific topic (I'm guestimating Python or programming related, or something along those lines), so this is what I've drafted thus far. If we can get a topic/talk title (it can be something with a fair amount of "wiggle" room) and appropriate blurbs, I can make suitable changes on the description(s) and such (including further changing the web page). Anyway, this is what I've drafted so far for the "announce" list: News & BALUG 2006-11-21: Marilyn Davis ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For our November 21st, 2006 BALUG meeting, we have: Marilyn Davis of eVote(R)/Clerk and Bay Area Python Interest Group (BayPIGgies) as guest speaker. Marilyn Davis is a senior software engineer and technical trainer, focused on object-oriented design, clear, efficient algorithms, and well-crafted code; with a demonstrated knack for: * Finding simple solutions to complex problems. * Articulating clear explanations. * Engendering cooperation. http://www.deliberate.com/marilyn/ http://www.deliberate.com/ http://baypiggies.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No BALUG meeting in December this year. Note that BALUG will not be meeting in December of this year. We meet again, as usual, resuming on the 3rd Tuesday of the month on 2007-01-16. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

As your friendly former LinuxWorld conference director, I should remind you that LinuxWorld Conf. and Expo != LinuxWorld.com, the online mag now run by NetworkWorld and edited by the highly esteemed Don Marti. Also, if you want to give the finger to the folks responsible for the new age restrictions, you are welcome to do that to all the sponsors that demanded it. The real irony, however, is that after imposing the age restrictions, attendance dropped off, and then they bitched at us for that, too. Which just goes to show... never actually listen to customers, just pretend like you do :D -JM

New wiki page: For Presenters / Speakers
by Michael Paoli 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

Well, I/we had earlier mentioned potentially doing something like this. May still be at least a somewhat rough version, but put up the wiki page: http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagenam… It may not be very polished yet, and probably doesn't have all the information it ought to, but at least it consolidates the stuff that's otherwise scattered about a bunch of (archived) e-mails (many of which update earlier ones), and is at least a hair more organized than a straight dump of those various texts. Hopefully I/we will polish it more, but at least in the meantime it should be at least fairly useful. references: http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagenam… http://www.balug.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index http://www.balug.org/
