Suddenly, the end of my year as President of the Austin LUG has
arrived. I presided over forty-nine meetings of the LUG, because with
the exception of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, we met every
Thursday. I wonder, what did I, or the other members, really gain from
those meetings?
There were only a handful of presentations. One was on a development
project, peless, started one of our members, Paul Elliot. The
discussion of the project itself was interesting, but so were the
details of making it a full-fledged open source project with a
homepage, version control, and input from other programmers.
There was one meeting when a question about php4 kicked off over an
hour's worth of details from our past President. Much of that time was
devoted to the differences of php4 from php3 in the context of website
use. This young man is so knowledgeable on so many facets of Linux that
I often feel overwhelmed by the recognition of how little I know after
six years of full-time use.
Another of our members, now our President, made two presentations
during the past year. One on the mathematics involved in cryptography.
Most of the members were somewhat familiar with the use of encryption
tools, but his explanation helped all of us to understand more clearly
how and why increasing the bit depth dramatically increases the
protection it affords.........
