Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting
Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2013-02-19
For our 2013-02-19 BALUG meeting, we're proud to present:
Elizabeth Krumbach on Linux deployments in Ghana
In October of 2012 Elizabeth Krumbach accompanied other volunteers from
Computer Reach[1], a non-profit based out of Pittsburgh, PA, on a trip
to Ghana in western Africa to assist with the deployment of 100
Edubuntu[2]-based desktop computers. In this talk she will share
photos and details of the trip, along with some of the lessons they
learned about doing such a deployment in a developing country, covering
hardware, software and training requirements. For a bit more
background, one can also have a look at her earlier Ubuntu User[3]
article: Road Trip: Delivering Edbuntu systems to Ghana[4].
Elizabeth Krumbach works as a Linux Systems Administrator focused on
continuous integration, holds a position on the Ubuntu Community
Council[5] and is the Treasurer and a Director at the non-profit
Partimus[6]. She has held a leadership position in the Ubuntu
Women[7], Ubuntu Classroom[8] and Ubuntu News[9] projects for several
years and recently took over as Marketing and Website lead for the
Xubuntu[10] Linux distribution. Former coordinator for the
Philadelphia area Linux Users Group[11], she is now living in San
Francisco and is one of the leaders of the Ubuntu California[12] team
where she coordinates Bay Area Ubuntu events and meetings, install
fests, booths and hosts Debian dinners every couple months for Bay Area
Debian[13].

And, as soon as you start missing "Hey, those other groups and meetups

Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting
TOMORROW Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2012-11-20
Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2012-11-20 BALUG meeting, we theoretically have a
speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, but I've not received
"final" details or recent confirmation. Regardless, that doesn't
prevent us from having interesting and exciting meetings. Sometimes we
also manage to secure/confirm a speaker too late for us to announce or
fully publicize the speaker (that's happened at least twice in the past
nine or so years). Got questions, answers, and/or opinions? We
typically have some expert(s) and/or relative expert(s) present to
cover LINUX and related topic areas. Want to hear some interesting
discussions on LINUX and other topics? Show up at the meeting, and
feel free to bring an agenda if you wish. Want to help ensure BALUG
has speakers/presentations lined up for future meetings? Help refer
speakers to us and/or volunteer to be one of the speaker coordinators.
Good food, good people, and interesting conversations to be had.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:
rsvp(a)balug.org
**Why RSVP??**
Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help
BALUG and the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and meeting, and with
sufficient attendance, they also help ensure that we'll be able to eat
upstairs in the private banquet room.

------------------------------
For our 2012-07-17 meeting BALUG is proud to present:
screen(1), presented by Michael Paoli
screen(1) is a highly useful and quite versitile utility, considered
"essential" by many or most Linux systems administrators, and also
often heavily utilized by many other Linux users. Most notably,
screen(1) is a terminal session manager, allowing one to create,
manage, detatch from, and reattach to terminal sessions. But screen(1)
has a very rich feature set, allowing one to do numerous related useful
things, e.g. copy/paste from independent scrollback buffers, title and
retitle screen(1) sessions and terminal window sessions within
screen(1), monitor window sessions for (in)activity and report on
window activity, can be set to work with multiple users for read-only
or read-write sharing of terminal sessions, and is highly configurable,
to name but a few of its numerous features and capabilities.
Michael Paoli has been using screen(1) for about a dozen or more years.
He's been doing Linux systems administration for over 14 years, and
has professionally been working in Linux/Unix systems administration in
excess of two decades, and has worked with Unix since long before than
all that.
So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP to:

**Why RSVP??**
Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help
