Getting started with Linux, KVM-over-IP demo, and Choirs of Covid: What if your thing is live collaborative music?

Burning your distro image, and lightweight distributions

Meeting Announcement Thursday January 7, 2021 Venue Virtual - via Jitsi Meeting Agenda Discussions The first part of the meeting will be a getting started stream as we expect there are a number of people who really don’t know how to get started and as a result, can’t even formulate what they want to ask since they are not sufficiently familiar with the system to do so. In order to provide a jump start, we are going to take a few people who are “New to Linux” through picking a distro from a very small set (to keep solutions similar), get them to install it, and them get them comfortable with using it.

Meeting Announcement Thursday December 3, 2020 Venue Virtual - via Jitsi Meeting Agenda Discussions This month is the annual scripting talk/open discussion. We have at least three items lined up and are hoping for some scripting items from the general membership, so feel free to volunteer a pet script or a scripting question.

Meeting Announcement Thursday November 5, 2020 Venue Virtual - via Jitsi Meeting Agenda Discussions This month we have three short talks on the topic of e-voting. The first will be from John on e-voting systems thenselves. The second from Scott on experiences with a specific evoting system. The third will be from Tug on open vs. closed source e-voting systems. Discussion and questions welcome. As a reminder, we have scheduled a scripting talk for the December meeting for the past couple of years and we intend to continue the tradition, so if anyone is interested in doing a short ~5 minute talk on some scripting aspect, feel free to let the secretary know that you are interested so we can line them up.

Meeting Announcement Thursday October 1, 2020 Venue Virtual - via Jitsi Meeting Agenda Discussions This month we have a talk from Scott Murphy on firewalls. This will be a two part talk, the first being hardware for the purpose of acting as a firewall and the second will be on the linux firewall itself. This will not be a deep dive on firewalls, but rather a discussion on hardware options and a short usage case that highlights some of the fun in the current firewalld implementation which should be at least mildly entertaining.
