I normally send a full copy of the email in question when following up on *fraudulent* emails - but for some reason I had my blinders on in this situation. I don't expect you to follow up on this, but I'm sending it just in case you're curious. Forgive me if once again it is lacking important information. After having received unsubscription confirmations last October from balug-talk-bounces(a)balug.org & balug-announce-bounces(a)balug.org, I continue to receive the following monthly reminder: >From balug-talk-admin(a)balug.org Sat Apr 1 13:05:07 2006 Return-Path: <balug-talk-admin(a)balug.org> Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by rhizome.net (8.13.6/8.13.3) with ESMTP id k31L56VC000233 for <craig@localhost>; Sat, 1 Apr 2006 13:05:07 -0800 X-Flags: 0000 Delivered-To: GMX delivery to craigs(a)gmx.net Received: from pop.gmx.net [213.165.64.22] by localhost with POP3 (fetchmail-6.3.2) for <craig@localhost> (single-drop); Sat, 01 Apr 2006 13:05:07 -0800 (PST) Received: (qmail invoked by alias); 01 Apr 2006 16:30:18 -0000 Received: from unknown (EHLO colo1.sifry.com) [209.237.227.243] by mx0.gmx.net (mx031) with SMTP; 01 Apr 2006 18:30:18 +0200 Received: from colo1.sifry.com (colo1 [127.0.0.1]) by colo1.sifry.com (8.12.3/8.12.3/Debian -4) with ESMTP id k31GU0PY004614 for <craigs(a)gmx.net>; Sat, 1 Apr 2006 08:30:10 -0800 Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2006 08:30:10 -0800 Message-Id: <200604011630.k31GU0PY004614(a)colo1.sifry.com> Subject: balug.org mailing list memberships reminder From: mailman-owner(a)balug.org To: craigs(a)gmx.net X-No-Archive: yes X-Ack: no Sender: balug-talk-admin(a)balug.org Errors-To: balug-talk-admin(a)balug.org X-BeenThere: balug-talk(a)balug.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.5 Precedence: bulk X-GMX-Antivirus: -1 (not scanned, may not use virus scanner) X-GMX-Antispam: 0 (Mail was not recognized as spam) X-GMX-UID: qJ0cdYBFIyd1l0/tDmdraGxaa2FkZpXd Status: RO Content-Length: 1174 Lines: 26 This is a reminder, sent out once a month, about your balug.org mailing list memberships.

update balug web page
by Larry Platzek 23 Mar '06

23 Mar '06

Hi Ann, Would you like to try to update the balug web page so the "coming up" block shows we have no speaker for April? login and you will see the Dmin menu on the left side, click on administration then click on 3rd-party then blocks then edit on the block you wish to change (the block should be deactived before you do the edit as it is now as I am writing this email) you will need to edit the content block. when you are happy with your edit click on update at bottom center of screen. You will then want to activate the page. I hope this is at least simi usefull, as I know of no place this has been documented. I did update the next meeting block for April already. I hope this can be documented better and place where the right people can find. I do not intend to micro manage, but this is a small task that does need to be done. Larry Platzek larryp(a)inow.com

by Michael Paoli 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Re: [Balug-admin] BALUG 2006-03-21: reserverations or anything of that sort?
by Michael Paoli 11 Mar '06

11 Mar '06

We'll probably be okay without RSVP or reservation system. The restaurant can handle a fair sized crowd - hopefully we will have a good turnout. references/excerpts: Quoting Raymond Wong: > Sorry to bug you, but none of the linked-to messages for the Tom Limoncelli > event indicates any sort of RSVP, is it really just going to be a free for > all at the restaurant?

BALUG talk for January 17th, 2006
by xiaowen 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

Hi Dick and Larry and everyone, If there's no presenter scheduled yet for the January 17th meeting, could I give a talk on Conary and rBuilder Online? Conary is an open source software management and provisioning tool that applies new ideas from distributed configuration management tools such as GNU arch and monotone. Rather than concentrating on separate package files as RPM and dpkg do, Conary uses networked repositories containing a structured version hierarchy of all the files and organized sets of files in a distribution. http://wiki.conary.com/ rBuilder Online is a collaborative development environment that can be used to easily package open source software and produce complete distributions. http://www.rpath.com/ I came to both the September and October BALUG meetings on The Digital Tipping Point and shell programming respectively and found the topics interesting and the audience knowlegeable and enthusiastic about Linux. I'd love to be able to present on these couple of new and exciting technologies that I've worked with the past few months. Thanks, Xiaowen

S.F.: BALUG 2006-03-21: Tom Limoncelli: Time Management for System Administrators
by Michael Paoli 02 Mar '06

02 Mar '06

For the 2006-03-21 Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG) meeting, we have as guest presenter Tom Limoncelli, of Google, on: Time Management for System Administrators (and everyone else too) synopsis: Whether you use Perl, Python or Ruby, whether you use Windows, Linux or Unix, all system administrators have a problem with time management. Users interrupt you constantly with requests, your managers want you to get long-term projects done but flood you with requests for quick- fixed, and the machines you manage just never behave, causing problems at the most inopportune moments. Tom will discuss techniques he has developed over the last 15 years for dealing with these things --- all of which (and more) can be found in his new book from O'Reilly, "Time Management for System Administrators". http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0596007833/tomontime-20 (The book was the #1 computer book on Amazon on Feb 10, 2006) Tom Limoncelli has over 15 years of system administration experience and has been teaching workshops on Time Management at conferences since 2003. Tom has worked for both large and small organizations, including Bell Labs and AT&T. He speaks at conferences around the world. His previous book, The Practice of System and Network Administration, is considered a standard reference in system administration. He now works at the Google NYC office. His web site is www.EverythingSysadmin.com more details here: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2006-March/000058…

Tom Limoncelli talk/presentation March 21st at BALUG
by Michael Paoli 28 Feb '06

28 Feb '06

Xavier - could you (or someone) get the BALUG web site updated with information about our program for the March 21st meeting - looks like we should have Tom Limoncelli lined up for that (details further below, including title of talk, etc.). I'll draft an item to go out on the "announce" list noting the speaker/program for the 21st, and hopefully get that out fairly soon (like this week - preferably within the next couple days or so). If there's anything anyone thinks should be added/included for that item to go out on "announce" (e.g. other BALUG 'newsworthy' items of note), just drop a note to the "admin" list (balug-admin(a)lists.balug.org) and I'll probably make a suitable inclusion of it. Quoting Michael Paoli <Michael.Paoli(a)cal.berkeley.edu>: > Excellent. We look forward to your talk/presentation. > You're welcome to join us as early as 6:30 P.M. - some of us always > gather around the restaurant's bar prior to the meeting's official > start time of 7:00 P.M. At 7:00 P.M. we start with dinner, and of > course you're our welcomed guest (our treat) to dinner, then we > transition to presentation/talk portion of the meeting a bit later > (typically as folks are >~=2/3 done consuming their dinner). > You can find details of our available projection video hook-up here: > http://lists.balug.org/htdig.cgi/balug-admin-balug.org/2005-May/000030.html > We've also got microphone/PA and laser pointer available. > Meeting location: > Four Seas Restaurant > 731 Grant Ave. > San Francisco, CA 94108-2113 > If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to give us a holler. > We look forward to meeting with you, and your presentation. > > Quoting Tom Limoncelli: > > > Yup!
