-------- MID HUDSON VALLEY LINUX AND OPEN SOURCE USERS GROUP [1] -------------
-------- FOLLOW US ----------------------------------------------------------- [2] MHVLUG is proud to announce our December meeting: -------- HOLIDAY LIGHTNING TALK EXTRAVAGANZA --------------------------------- In celebration of the Holiday Season, as well as the end of the MHVLS era of MHVLUG, we'll be doing a Holiday Extravaganza of Lightning Talks. Lightning talks are short (~10 minute) to the point presentations on a single topic of interest. They are a great launch pad for finding out about new things, and links will be provided to explore more after the meeting on the mailing list. Punch and Pie, I mean Cookies and Coffee will be provided. There will be a limited supply of Tux Cookies [3] (regular and chocolate), so get there early! The currently scheduled Lightning Talks are: * Our new home at Vassar College - Ben Stoutenburgh * Achieve World Domination with Emacs and Org-Mode [4] - Rich Loveland * Twitter Bootstrap: build good looking websites easily - Sean Dague * Linux Mint MGSE [5] as it relates to Ubuntu Unity [6] - Joe Apuzzo * The New MHVLUG - 960gs and responsive web design - Sean Dague * Google CloudPrint - Jack Chastain * Android: Rooting and Security - Mike Kershaw * Mozilla Tilt 3D - Visualization tool for web developers - Bruce Locke With possibly a few more sliding in late. .... Election Not to be forgotten, the election of 2012 officers will kick off at 6:05. The current slate of nominees are as follows: * President - Sean Dague * Program Director - Ben Stoutenburgh * Publicity - Paul Chauvet * Historian - Jack Chastain We'll also take nominations from the floor, coup d'état is always encouraged. All present are eligible to vote. .... Scheduling Note For those that were looking forward to Sean O'Connor's previously scheduled talk on Chef, powers beyond our control made that not possible this month. Sorry for the last minute change. Don't worry though, we'll have him back on the schedule in 2012, for what I'm sure will be a great presentation. The meeting space opens up at 5pm for pre meeting general discussion, question asking, show and tell, and setup. All are welcome to join. 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 Mid Hudson Library System Auditorium on Wednesday, December 7 at 6 pm. 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)! After each meeting ends everyone is welcome to join in on an informal dinner gathering at the Palace Diner 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.
