Meetings

April 2012 Meeting

Hi all,

First and foremost, my apologies for not holding a meeting sooner this semester. But we'll hopefully make that up to you guys the rest of the semester.

This week's meeting, we'll be talking a little bit about Google's Summer of Code, and hopefully convincing you guys to apply to work on some projects this summer. For those who don't know, Google's Summer of Code is a chance to get paid over the summer to contribute on an established open source project. I'll talk a little bit about the types of organizations and projects available and some tips on how to succeed in being selected for a project from mentors from past years and this coming summer.

If you're interested in Summer of Code, I encourage you to get a jump start and look through some materials at Google's site this week. The deadline for student applications is Friday, so let's not leave it to the last minute. Come to the meeting with some questions, or maybe come share your application and let us critique and let the group give you feedback.

There will of course be free pizza as always.

What: LUG Meeting
Where: Evans 204
When: April 5th, 6pm
Why: Free pizza and great times.

Hope to see you soon! Your LUG officers.

Latest Information and News

Updating the Wiki

Well as I'm on my way out the door (well officially I'm out) I'm helping the new webmaster Rob Searles upgrade the wiki. He asked for advice on how to make it easier to keep updated with news and such so I've installed the Blog plugin. I'm hoping this leads to more communication with our members.

It's been a great run, hope you all enjoy LUG and please stay in touch! I'll continue to reside in the LUG@UD IRC server for as long as people keep it running :)

LUG IRC Server

LUG@UD now is hosting it's own IRC server. The idea of this is to encourage members to talk and communicate more openly. Connection information is as follows:

Looking for Presenters

Would you like to come up and give a talk about a Linux subject that you love? Want some public speaking experience? Want a resume booster? Email me and we'll schedule a time. Some interesting meeting topics that I'd like to see include: Using GNU Screen, BIND and DNS, the Ruby language (or Ruby on Rails), GNU autotools, Subversion and why it's really nice for any project, Linux firewalls with IPtables, setting up your own postfix server, LaTeX - for all your homework and reports.

LUG Apparel

Interested in getting your hands on some Linux t-shirts, mugs, or something else? Have an idea for a design or something you want? Add your thoughts and comments to LUG Apparel.

FTP Mirror is Operational

The server is at HTTP FTP. We're also offering LUG mirror statistics so you can watch CPU usage and network bandwidth. Currently, we mirror debian, gentoo, slackware, sunfreeware, and ubuntu. Use us as your preferred mirror!

Wikified

This site, as you may or may not have noticed, is actually a Wiki. Anyone inside the UD network can anonymously edit most pages. Those outside the network can either VPN in using the Proxy Server, or request a user/pass login combination. Click on the [Edit] link on any page to edit and submit your changes.
