BALUG news: 2005-11-15 meeting: Shell & FVWM; and other BALUG news

BALUG news: 2005-11-15 meeting: Shell & FVWM; and other BALUG news ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the November 15th, 2005 BALUG meeting, we'll be including: A follow-up/follow-on to Introduction to Shell Programming, by Michael Paoli This will mostly be question and answer and mini-demonstrations and examples. So, if you came to the October meeting and have more questions, want to see examples and demonstrations, etc., or didn't make it to the October meeting and would like to ask Shell Programming questions, see demonstrations, examples, etc. this should make for a useful and informative meeting to attend. Additionally, we should also get to squeeze in one other quite short mini-demonstration/mini-presentation by Michael Paoli: "Why I like FVWM" - FVWM is a powerful and highly configure multiple virtual desktop window manager for the X Window system. This will mostly just be a very quick demonstration of some of its features and capabilities, and examples of how at least one particular person uses it for a quite efficient and powerful X window manager. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction to Shell Programming materials available on the web - if you didn't see it earlier, you can take a look at this item on the BALUG "talk" list: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2005-October/003528.h… There are also some quite recent updates/tweaks to those materials. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reminder: Dinner cost has been increased to $11.00 - that's our first increase in apparently over 6 years. Still a bargain for all that good food (and the meeting facility!) at that price. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reminder: BALUG will not be meeting in December of this year. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ references/excerpts: BALUG (meeting location details, lists, etc.): http://www.balug.org/ FVWM: http://www.fvwm.org/ Shell and related stuff: Earlier information about availability of Shell Programming materials: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2005-October/003528.h… Earlier announcement about the Oct. Shell Programming meeting: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2005-September/00… ${1+"$@"} vs. "$@": http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-talk-balug.org/2005-November/003557.… Dinner costs, now, and then, and no Dec. 2005 meeting: http://lists.balug.org/pipermail/balug-announce-balug.org/2005-October/0000… http://web.archive.org/web/19981203050131/www.balug.org/meetNow.html

BALUG reminders, etc.: Tu. Oct. 18, 2005 meeting: Shell Programming; ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BALUG 2005-10-18 meeting presentation: Shell Programming, by Michael Paoli This presentation promises to be a quite useful, informative, interesting, well referenced and fast introduction to Bourne (sh) and compatible [Korn (ksh), POSIX, Bash (bash), ash, etc.] shells. The presentation will cover a fast, but thorough tour of the shell and shell programming. It will cover all the way from why one would want to learn shell, why start with Bourne, etc., how to compactly learn it, through and including most key features of shell programming, and some key differences and caveats among the shells, and a collection of references to help round out leaning about shell programming. About Michael Paoli, our presenter for this event: Michael Paoli has been doing UNIX systems administration for well over a decade, been doing LINUX systems administration for over 7 years, and has been using and programming Bourne and compatible shells (bash, etc.) since even earlier than all that. He's also done well received classes/labs/presentations before, including topics of security, shells and Logical Volume Manager (LVM). For meeting time, location, cost (dinner), etc., please see the BALUG web site: http://www.balug.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ LISA '05, San Diego, CA, December 4-9, 2005, sponsored by USENIX & SAGE USENIX would like us to mention to or remind folks about LISA '05. LISA (Large Installation System Administration) is a great event for system (and other computer-related) administrators. I've been to LISA multiple times, and highly recommend it. Lots of great information about the event can be found at the URL following ... and their clamis are not overstated: http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa05/

BALUG 2005-10-18 meeting presentation: Shell Programming, by Michael Paoli This presentation promises to be a quite useful, informative, interesting, well referenced and fast introduction to Bourne (sh) and compatible [Korn (ksh), POSIX, Bash (bash), ash, etc.] shells. The presentation will cover a fast, but thorough tour of the shell and shell programming. It will cover all the way from why one would want to learn shell, why start with Bourne, etc., how to compactly learn it, through and including most key features of shell programming, and some key differences and caveats among the shells, and a collection of references to help round out leaning about shell programming.

He's also done well received classes/labs/presentations before, including topics of security, shells and Logical Volume Manager (LVM). For meeting time, location, cost (dinner), etc., please see the BALUG web site: http://www.balug.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BALUG 2005-09-20 speaker: The Digital Tipping Point, by Christian Einfeldt The Digital Tipping Point: The Culture Of Freedom In Cyberspace We had a great presentation by Christian Einfeldt on The Digital Tipping Point, including lots of information on the movie project, and a 9 minute sample of very impressive material which is likely to be be used, at least in substantial part, in the film. The Digital Tipping Point is an open source documentary film project. "We are approaching a digital tipping point." "One documentary film, the Digital Tipping Point: the culture of freedom in cyberspace, will peer into the future to see how this change might come about, and what it means for humanity." So, ... just because a BALUG meeting doesn't indicate, or indicate reasonably well ahead of time that we've got a speaker/presentation, should not be taken as an indicator that we won't have an exciting, interesting meeting anyway - and possibly including speaker/presentation. So, make those meetings! :-) (Sorry it wasn't better announced/publicized, seems there was probably a communication error or omission). http://www.digitaltippingpoint.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BALUG "announce" <balug-announce-balug.org(a)lists.balug.org> moderated The BALUG "announce" list <balug-announce-balug.org(a)lists.balug.org> should now be moderated. Hopefully that will keep the list relatively low traffic and more on-traget for more "important"/newsy BALUG focused/oriented announcements (e.g. meeting announcements/reminders, important BALUG news, etc.). More general BALUG related discussions are of course always welcomed on the "talk" list <balug-talk-balug.org(a)lists.balug.org>, which remains "unmoderated" (though one must be a subscriber to the list, to post to it). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BALUG "admin" <balug-admin-balug.org(a)lists.balug.org.> archives ... The BALUG "admin" <balug-admin-balug.org(a)lists.balug.org.> archives are now open to the public (so one can read/browse those without having to be a subscriber, search engines can index them, etc.) For the interested, curious, and/or bored, the "admin" list is focused more towards the "internal business" and administrivia of BALUG. If you would like to help out BALUG, or might want to get some ideas on wherewe could use some assistance or more volunteerism, that list (and/or its archives) can often be a good place to start.

missing September meeting
by Larry Platzek 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

Dick Verna just called me and his wife is sick and needs to be care for her. That means the projector will not be at meeting. A speaker had said would be at meeting but the ball was dropped so not certain if will be at meeting. I could pickup the projector but that will not help much as I will not be driving to meeting, Dick provides my transportation to meeting. I have the time just not the transportation. Dick live in Milpitas & I cupertino. Hope the meeting is good! Larry Platzek larryp(a)inow.com
