BALUG tonight, 7 pm! mEconomy Privacy software.
by Heather 20 Nov '01

20 Nov '01

Hi everybody. If you were wondering who the heck was speaking tonight, well... that's all my fault. We've known for weeks (!) but I was late getting to the web page. So you don't have to go running off to it, Valerie Buckingham and Bill Herndon will be discussy mEconomy's privacy and intelligent agent software, and since they are making it open source this month, we'll probably get to hear a bit about that too. Privacy's getting pretty important now that the gov is getting extra snoopy. Sorry I can't be there myself -- I'm flying out of town for family out in the mid-North, so I'll be in line at the airport whil you're all having a grand time... SEND US YOUR RSVPs please! The restaurant wants to know how many to cook for tonight. I *will* be there next month though. Michelle got us a speaker from Sendmail. I like Jon. It'll be fun. . | .

BALUG Meeting, Tuesday 6/19: Dave Mandala, CTO of DevelopOnline
by David L. Sifry 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hi everybody! It's that time again, time for the June BALUG meeting! This month we've got a very special speaker, a longtime BALUG alumnus and self-proclaimed "Seating Nazi", Dave Mandala. Dave has moved to Phoenix and he's been working on some very cool stuff for DevelopOnline, an online site for innovators, engineers and programmers to build electronic products over the Internet. Dave faced a very M$-centric environment when he first joined, and he has successfully switched the company to a computing platform that is almost entirely Linux-based. Along the way, he hit a number of snags and bottlenecks, that he and his team successfully solved. Along the way he has saved hundreds of thousands of dollars for the company. Come hear Dave talk about DevelopOnline, building web-based apps on Linux, and whatever else he has on his mind! I, for one, am definitely looking forward to Dave's talk. As usual, please send an email to rsvp(a)balug.org letting us know how many people you'll be bringing, and if you need any special meals, like vegetarian or kosher. When: Tuesday June 18, 2001 7PM-10PM Where: The Four Seas Restaurant, Chinatown, SF (415) 989-8188 More info: http://www.balug.org/ See you then! Dave -- David L.
