No specific topic was scheduled for this month, so we had an extended Q & A session that covered many topics. top last meeting next meeting October 2008 October 16, 2008 meeting at W.S.U. Nancy mentioned that she saw a white Jetta with the license "My Linux", but apparently it's not ownwd by one of our members. Gary briefly discussed the recent Ohio LinuxFest. About half of tonight's 19 attendees went. Gary also mentioned that our next Installfest / Configfest will be held at Sinclair Community College on Saturday, January 24. Watch for more details soon. Somone asked how many had installed Ubuntu 8.10. A few have so far. Someone else asked what printers are supported by Linux. It was recommended to check the OpenPrinting database of supported printers. There was some discussion about Ubuntu parking the disk head too often. Apparently that's been fixed. There was also discussion about random failures with solid state disks related to repeatedly writing to the same area. Paul V. recommended that folks check out Linux Weekly News. For the main presentation, Paul Visscher discussed his work installing and configuring Linux in Centerville Schools. They currently have 700-800 client machines running Linux as well as using LTSP with about 300 Asus EeePCs. They use Puppet and Clonezilla to maintain the same configuration across multiple computers. top last meeting next meeting October 2008 October 11, 2008 was the 6th annual Ohio LinuxFest and it just keeps getting better each year.

This month was the start of a series of panel discussions headed up by Elliott Lake about "How to Introduce and Encourage Linux Use to Resistant Organizations". They discussed experiences they have encountered when trying to start implementation of Linux projects and suggest ways to improve them. Also, Michael Gilbert continued his monthly "in-security" series - security issues that have popped up within the past month. top last meeting next meeting May 2008 May 2008 meeting in New Horizons We met at New Horizons^® Computer Learning Centers, 1890 Commerce Center Blvd., Fairborn, OH for the Thursday May 15 meeting. This month Michael Gilbert demonstrated Eee PC and discussed installing a Debian based distro on one. He also discussed "in-security" - security issues that have popped up within the past month, and is looking forward to making it a monthly discussion. Also, Eric Baenen gave a quick overview of the Linux for South West Ohio Libraries project that was recently started. top last meeting next meeting April 2008 April 2008 meeting in New Horizons We met at New Horizons^® Computer Learning Centers, 1890 Commerce Center Blvd., Fairborn, OH for the Thursday April 17 meeting. New Horizons is near the large Kroger store on the north side of Dayton-Yellow Springs Rd.

We met in Student Union, room 157, Wright State University for the Thursday March 20 meeting. This month, we had a demo by Eric Baenen of cloning and restoring systems with Clonezilla Live. Also, Jason Cook talked about Wikia and some of the things he is doing there. We had some Fedora 8 x86 Live CDs to give out at tonight's meeting, as well as a Fedora T-Shirt. top last meeting next meeting February 2008 February 2008 meeting in 016 Rike Hall, W.S.U. We met in Rike Hall, room 016, Wright State University for the Thursday February 21 meeting, which was very nice. The desks are wired with power and ethernet, but without a Wright State account, you can't get online. This month Don Corbet discussed and demonstrated installing "Out-of-the-box XEN" para- and full virtulization and the difference under different CPU's running SLES-10 or Fedora. We gave out some Fedora 8 x86 Live CDs at tonight's meeting, courtesy of Red Hat Fedora. The new Milano's at the corner of North Fairfield and Kemp - a little over a mile south of TGI Friday's - has been suggested for the after-the-meeting meeting. They have free Wi-Fi.

This month we had a presentation by Michael Gilbert that he called "Running a secure system by knowing your vulnerabilities", which included discussion of WebKit and KDE4. We expected to also have a fair amount of discussion of Eric Baenen's proposal to "do more to help more people convert from proprietary software to Open Source Software and Linux.", but I didn't hear any. But since I wasn't feeling too good that night, I may have missed it. Please bring printouts of your public key and government issued photo ID to participate in the key signing party. It's been far too long since we've had one. top last meeting next meeting
