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.

As best I know, Elliott will continue leading the panel discussion
of "How to Introduce and Encourage Linux Use to Resistant
Organizations" this month and Michael Gilbert will continue his
monthly "in-security" series. I haven't heard of any other topics for
this month so far.

We returned to Wright State University for our June 19 meeting.
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.

We met in Student Union, room 157, Wright State University

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.

T-Shirt.

February 2008
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.

January 2008
We met in Student Union 156C at 7 pm Thursday January 17.
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.
