BALUG news: 2005-10-18 meeting: Shell Programming; and other BALUG news
by Larry Platzek 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

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/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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

BALUG 2005-06-21 6:30 PM keysigning; 7:00 PM Moshe Bar - CTO of XenSource, Open Source vereran and openMosix Project leader
by Michael Paoli 18 Jun '05

18 Jun '05

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005, starting at 6:30 P.M. PST8PDT One evening, so much BALUG excitement at one location :-) 6:30 P.M. PGP/GPG keysigning begins (details further below) 7:00 P.M. dinner and featured speaker Moshe Bar, CTO of XenSource, Open Source vereran and openMosix Project leader At 7:00 P.M., we move to our assemblage for dinner ($10.00 per person for dinner, dinner starts promptly at 7:10 P.M.), and will have as our featured speaker Moshe Bar, CTO of XenSource, Open Source vereran and openMosix Project leader. Prior to XenSource, Bar co-founded Qlusters, Inc., where he served as CTO, leading the company's technology and product strategy. Previously, Moshe was VP, ERP implementations, at Baan Europe. He is the author of three books on Linux internals and Open Source development tools. Abstract: Virtualization is a new and hot item to the world of Linux and Windows. There have been, however, virtualization technologies for over 40 years starting with the IBM emulators for mainframes and later with CP67 and VM virtualizing operating systems. Preceding that, starting at 6:30 P.M. BALUG will have a PGP/GPG keysigning event. As keysigning won't be possible during most of the later part of the BALUG meeting (as we have speaker/presentation), please try to make it as close to 6:30 P.M. as possible if you're interested in the keysigning. If you're interested in having your key signed, bring government issued photo ID (e.g. drivers license or passport, etc.) and for your key(s), key ID and key fingerprint (preferably on little slips of paper). For signing other folks keys, you'll probably want to make some notes (e.g. bring a writing implement). Placing your key(s) on the biglumber event keyring for this event: https://www.biglumber.com/x/web?ev=77348 (preferably at least several hours ahead of time if possible) can also help facilitate ease of keysigning and key exchange. Even if you're not interested the keysigning itself, as always, you're welcome to join us starting as early as 6:30 P.M. Location, directions, other details, etc., are available on the BALUG web site. references: http://www.balug.org/ http://www.xensource.com/ https://www.biglumber.com/x/web?ev=77348 http://zer0.org/pipermail/ba-keysign/2005-June/date.html http://zer0.org/mailman/listinfo/ba-keysign

BALUG May 17th presentation: LVM (Logical Volume Manager)
by Michael Paoli 01 May '05

01 May '05

For the BALUG May 17th meeting, we will feature a presentation on Logical Volume Manager (LVM) on LINUX by Michael Paoli. BALUG and meeting general information (location, time, dinner cost, etc.) can be found on the BALUG web site: http://www.balug.org/ About Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and the presentation: LVM allows for rather powerful and flexible management of hard drive space. Rather than mostly having to deal with physical disks and partitions, with LVM, one creates logical volumes, which can then be used to contain filesystems or other data. With logical volumes, one can relocate and resize logical volumes while the data they contain is in use, and in general, without regard to partition boundaries or disk sizes - as logical volumes can also span multiple disks. This can make LVM a very power tool, for example allowing one to: * grow a filesystem while it's in use (if the filesystem type supports growing it on-line) * relocate in-use data (filesystem or whatever) to different physical device or type of storage (for example, take a filesystem that is in use and move it between different types of storage (e.g. among non-RAID, RAID-5, RAID-1 or RAID-0+1 devices)) * more efficiently manage multiple filesystems on systems from those with large numbers of disk storage arrays through those with as little as a single hard drive The presentation also promises to include a live demonstration of use of LVM on LINUX, and also a bit of information about volume management software in general on LINUX and UNIX platforms. About Michael Paoli, our presenter for this event: Michael Paoli has been doing UNIX systems administration for well over a decade, has been using volume management software for about 9 years, has been using doing LINUX systems administration for almost 7 years, and has been using LVM on LINUX for about 2 years.
