BALUG TOMORROW! Tu 2012-10-16 BALUG meeting
Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) meeting
TOMORROW Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2012-10-16
Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below).
For our 2012-10-16 BALUG meeting, at least presently we don't have a
specific speaker/presentation lined up for this meeting, but 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 five 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 at 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
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 2012-05-15 meeting BALUG is proud to present:
Corey Quinn: Salt[1]. Configuration Management and Remote
Execution at Scale
Corey Quinn has been finding new and better ways to be lazy via
configuration management since discovering that "ssh in a for loop"
didn't scale. He's a volunteer for the freenode[2] IRC[3]
network, and splits his time between Los Angeles and San Francisco,
where he's the director of systems operations at Expensify.com[4],
helping make expense reports not suck.
