Callug is the linux users group for the University of
California at Berkeley. They held their first meeting
of the fall semester yesterday. They met at a
university classroom, (that had an lcd projector and
people brought their own laptops, but that is standard
equipment in a classroom in this part of the world
anyway). Throughout the meeting they talked about
hosting different types of projects, and signing up
members who would work on these projects. Projects
included the ones like writing file transfer protocol
programs for new linux users, installfests, linux
clinics, kernel programming, programming for xen - the
virtual machine monitor for running multiple guest
operating systems, etc.
They host one meeting a month where they bring in
guest speakers (for example, Stallman is coming for
the next meeting to speak), and a meeting every two
weeks for people who are working on specific
"projects". The meeting lasted for about an hour and
they finished off with a bar-b-q party.
It was an interesting, and I thought, a quite fast and
efficiently conducted meeting, and people are friendly
here. Interestingly, Ubuntu is considered to be the
distro of choice for new converts to linux, at least,
that's the idea I got here from the first meeting.
Later,
Arin
