Meeting Notes for March: 10th Anniversary Meeting - Linux where you least expect it

1 month 2 weeks ago

Welcome to the 10th Anniversary of the Mid Hudson Linux User's Group! 10 years ago, a couple of ambitious Linux and open source folks thought it might be a good idea to start exchanging ideas on a regular basis. They never thought it would last more than a few sessions. More than 120 meetings later, here we all are, with a stong membership, exciting and interesting meetings and an apparent desire to keep this thing going another 10 and more.

First Lightning Talk - Sean Dague: ZNC

ZNC is an IRC "bouncer" that you can use to maintain a connection to IRC chat sessions when you are away. It allows you to be able to maintain a connection when you are not around, giving you history of what you would have normally missed. And probably lots more as well!

Second lightning talk: Sean Swela: OpenElec

Meeting Notes for December: SysAdmin Panel

5 months 4 days ago

The last meeting for 2012 of the MHVLUG is probably going to be one of the great ones. Four members whose day job is a fully-fledged System Admin for four different locations sat before the group and discussed their Life as a System Admin. Ben served as Chair/Initial Inquisitor, but the audience had lots of really good questions for these guys. A nice insight into what it takes to work in the Hot Seat as an SA.
