I can now confirm that "the Club has younger members", supervision is CLUG's responsibility, and there is no age restriction on tonight's meeting. > As usual there is a gold coin donation (actually Rik has pointed out > that it is now a $2.00 donation following on from the general meeting we > held last year) > > [1] according to the phone book the Cashmere Club is at 88 Hunter Tce, > Cashmere, but the easiest way is to say its on Colombo Street, Cashmere > end, ie somewhere on this map: > > http://www.ccc.govt.nz/maps/Wises/map18/MAP18.asp > > (Some may remember a previous meeting there when the Sydenham Community > Centre was double booked.) > > [2] I assume this is the chap: > > http://www.ep1.rub.de/~ruediger/talks.htm A bit of relevant info: Ruediger's current work (Grid research and software distribution) is infrastructural support to CERN in particular, where data output from particle physics study is 'exploding' (excuse the pun; it's peaceful intent). So there's a direct view available tonight, back to the World Wide Web originators (of HyperText Markup Language), into current data overload solutions, and on Linux as a research platform, for those with interest and questions in these areas. Cheers, Rik
