Meetings

November 2011 Meeting 2

Hi LUG Members,

I've got a lot of stuff to tell you about this week, so I'll make it quick.

First, next Monday Richard Stallman, founder of the Free Software Foundation, is giving a talk. This isn't a LUG sponsored event, but we thought it might be interesting to the community. You can see all the details at

Second, we will be having a meeting this Wednesday, November 16th, at 8:45pm in Evans 204 as usual. This weeks topic is going to open up with some small tutorials on everyday commandline utilities, and we hope to continue giving some of these small tutorials every week at the beginning of the meeting. Have a program you've been meaning to learn about? Nominate it for this week or for future weeks by sending me an e-mail. Next up we'd like to have a roundtable discussion with the members on ideas for LUG projects. Lastly, we'll do some short examples of webapp exploitation to gear us up to talk a little bit about the next event which we have planned. Oh, don't forget we also have free pizza as always. :D

And last, but certainly not least, we have this coming weekend, a CTF we are participating in which we are going to open up to all of the LUG members! This weekend we will be setting up shop in Evans to work together on RuCTF and you're all invited to play with us. We have some ideas for things people of every skill level can do. I'll send out another e-mail after Wednesday's meeting with more details on the time, but if you are definitely interested in spending some time with us on campus this weekend, send me an e-mail back and let me know, just so we can make sure we have enough networking hardware available.

See you soon!

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.
