Topic/Agenda: Open Mike Meeting - There is no single topic for tonight, Here is a list of the active questions from the mailing list:
- Topic web page: Richard Cochran will demo the script we will be putting on the web page, so we can stop scrambling on the monday of the meeting.
- Plans for InstallFest
- Databasing with web front ends: A number of us have been doing this, so this will be a informal presentation.
- Comments on Redhat 7.0 (or other new distro's)
- How WeMaLu can help the GCC/High school Linux project ?
- Running mutiple NIC cards - probably for a DSL/Cable firewall
- WeMaLu Logo needed: I just threw this in since we had such a great demo day poster
- Time: 7 PM -til?
- Cost: FREE!
- Location UMASS, 301 Morrill Science Center, Amherst, MA
Demo Day Photos' needed:
If anyone took photos, email them to webmaster@wemalu.org and we'll get them on the web site Help Wanted:
Greater Franklin County Linux Project looking for Linux instructor(s)
Some topics that have been suggested:
- More about nailed up connections: DSL, Cable, Masq and shared IPs, AND how to convince the cable man you love Redmond so they will setup your connection.
- How to run a home server: security, running the web server, email, DNS, what 24/7 really means
- The security talk
- SSL, SSH and VPNs: running secure data over the Internet
- WINE, games, and 3d-acceleration:
Quake3Arena, Unreal Tournament, 3d card prices falling, and the porting of the LithTech Engine all having become a reality for Linux Users, what will come next for Linux 3d? Also, to be discussed, getting Fallout (and other apps) to run on WINE, without a Win9x install.
- Embedded Linux - How far has is come from myth to reality.
- The customization of Linux - Similer to above but how can you produce a miny distrobution which only has the pieces you want. For example in a high school programming lab a distrbution with gcc, python, etc. But none of the administrative tools or other non-programming software.
- Java on Linux - The JDK is out, what else needs to be done / where to go from here.
