MHVLUG is proud to announce our August meeting: Zenoss Bruce will present on the Zenoss project. Â Zenoss is a Enterprise-level Network Management platform whose core is released under the GPLv2 license. Â The software and the company behind it are upstarts in the Enterprise management field which is dominated by high priced proprietary packages from Fortune 500 companies with short names. Â The software allows for the monitoring of applications, servers and network devices with an event handling system.
The session will serve as an introduction to the software, its hybrid open/commercial development model, an overview of the internals of Zenoss and how to effectively use the software. 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. The meeting will take place at the Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium, in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Wednesday, July 9, 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! -porkchop _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jun 4 - Sqeak! and eToys Jul 2 - KVM (Tenative) Aug 6 - Zenos Sep 3 - TBD
