MHVLUG is proud to announce our April 2008 meeting: The Linux 2.6 Kernel,
including building it "The Debian Way".
Topic: The Linux 2.6 Kernel, including building it "The Debian Way"
* Interacting with the kernel: loading/unloading modules, module
options, proc, sysfs, boot parameters
* The initrd image, how to make it, examine it, etc
* Essential configuration of Linux, configuration strategies
* Basic use of git, quilt, and patch for kernel building purposes
* Compiling external driver modules from the repository
* and a lot of other details
Please bring your opinions, hints, questions, and peanut gallery
comments -- all are welcome! :-) The talk will include a handout with
instructions.
Before the main talk we will do a series of lightning talks, each 5
minutes or less, on something Open Source related. It could be a fun
new program, a book, a blog post, or really anything you think the
wider MHVLUG community would find some interest in. People that have
emailed me in advance, you're all on. Time permitting, we'll also
take impromptu lightning talks from the floor.
If you are planning on using the projector for your lightning talk,
please arrive at 5:30, to ensure we can work out any kinks with the
projector prior to the meeting.
I also have 2 Ubuntu 7.10 books to give away, courtesy of Prentice
Hall.
The meeting will take place at the Mid Hudson Library System
Auditorium, in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Wednesday, December 5,
from 6pm - 8pm. A nice map to the Auditorium can be found here:
http://midhudson.org/help/mhls_building_map.htm.
All meetings are *free* and open to the public, and everyone from all
levels of expertise and interest in Linux and Open Source Software are
encouraged to attend (and bring a friend or two)! In addition, after
each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner
gathering at the Palace Diner (http://www.thepalacediner.com/) on
Washington St. This is a great opportunity to interact with members
of the local Linux community, and a forum where questions and comments
are strongly welcomed.
For more details, please see http://mhvlug.org.
Hope to see you all there!
