It is looking like we won't be having an advanced topics meeting for March. So to get Alan off the hook for arranging a meeting, and unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to show up at the *Northwest* Lucky Lab on Wednesday March the 18th at 7PM and talk about server sky ( http://www.server-sky.com/ ) with anyone who shows up. I posted a short bit about it on the PLUG list a day or two ago.
If somebody wants to call to arrange the back room (for free), we can use that, otherwise we just take over a table in the corner. If somebody wants to post directions, that would be appreciated too. I don't have anything like a presentation ready, or even answers to 75% of the questions I expect I will get, but I can answer a few, and perhaps others can research/compute the answers to some of the others. I do have some pictures on my laptop, and on the website, and we can work some things out as we go along. The idea is very young - push it and it falls right over - so I'm not looking for "this will never work". I am not even looking for "why don't you try MY idea". I already have a lot of ideas to try. I am very much interested in "here's an idea about solving X, and here is how I plan to research and calculate and design it." I am also interested in people that can do graphics and physical simulation. I think game programmers might be helpful - who knows, perhaps there are gaming architectures that can handle radio propagation, orbital mechanics, and hypervelocity collisions, but even ordinary game physics would be helpful. Changing the world is easier if it is fun. I will be giving a more formal presentation at Linuxfest in late April, and I hope to present an alpha version of the presentation in early April, so people that want to see a more polished version can wait for that. On the other hand, I am team building now, so if you want to get in on the ground floor, or are too curious to wait, I'll see you wednesday night.
