by nbs 26 Aug '16

26 Aug '16

The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting: Monday September 19, 2016 7:00pm - 9:00pm Presentation: Get out of your own way: build the open source career you want! presented by Emily Kurze, Marketing Programs Manager, The Linux Foundation According to Dice.com, 59% of hiring managers say their hiring of open source talent will increase over the next six months. As the pressure to fill these IT job roles increases to keep pace with demand, so too does the competition to land one of these lucrative opportunities. Having strong open source and career navigation skills has never been more important. But it can be overwhelming when you are trying to figure out how to get started. Come find out about open source career trends and how to leverage them, how to start getting involved in open source projects even if you aren't a coder, why networking isn't as scary as it seems and other tricks to help you achieve your career goals in open source. About the Speaker: Emily Kurze is currently the Marketing Programs Manager at The Linux Foundation. Prior to joining, she worked in the Linux certification, consumer electronics, educational robotics and SCADA software industries. Prior to her work in technology marketing, Emily was a wildlife biologist researching the effects of ultraviolet radiation. Since that time, she's also been a technical writer, software configuration trainer, and advanced technical support analyst, so she's learned a thing or two about reinventing one's career.

Needed: 64-bit machines, monitors, USB keyboards, USB optical mice

Hi, Partimus is placing Lubuntu machines in low income shelters in San Francisco. We are looking for 64-bit machines for this purpose. They will just be desktops, but we know that the end of 32-bit is coming, and so we want to deploy all of our remaining 32-bit machines and then start transitioning to 64-bit only. We also need USB keyboards (only) and USB optical mice only. Also, any flat screen monitors would be welcome. We would like to pick up lots of at least 5, as opposed to onesies and twosies. Thanks so much in advance! -- Christian Einfeldt
