Ubuntu Advantage & The 2010 NYLUG Holiday Party
Please join us for a NYLUG traditional December Pizza meeting, this year
sponsored by Canonical. David Levin, Mark Russell, and (hopefully) Roberto
Salazar will join us for a short talk about Ubuntu Advantage, and then will
be available during the party to answer questions about Canonical and
Ubuntu.
Please advise us at i...@nylug.org if cheese or sugar are a problem for you
so that we can provide enough alternatives.

About Canonical:
Canonical was founded by Mark Shuttleworth as part of his original vision
to create software platforms that compete with the best but are free to
use, share and develop. Canonical's platform team leads the Ubuntu project
and brings together the passion and genius of the open-source community.
About David Levin:
David Levin works in Corporate Services at Canonical, and Tweets @ dslevin.
He fondly remembers building CP/M systems from junked machnines to put
himself through college. As part of his mission to bring Ubuntu Linux to
business, he's looking for companies looking to deploy cloud apps. If
that's you, you should contact him! David has also joined the ranks of
those building our local Linux/FLOSS community here in New York.
About Mark Russell:
Mark Russell is a system engineer working at Canonical, supporting major
customers using Ubuntu Desktop and Server, Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud, and
Landscape Server. Before jumping into Linux support full-time with Novell
a few years ago, he spent 10 years in the IT trenches, supporting a bit of
everything, including some less than open platforms. However, he has found
true FOSS bliss in the Ubuntu community and will never go back to the dark
side.
About Roberto Salazar:
Roberto Salazar is an experienced IT professional who has helped improve
business performance for major national and international corporations. He
has worked with a range of organisations to introduce and implement new
hardware, software, and processes to maximise efficiency while reducing
costs and complexity. Prior to joining Canonical, Roberto was an
enterprise architect for Sun Microsystems from 2001 to 2009.
Meeting Location:
Please note that this meeting will be held at IBM, 590 Madison Ave,
12th floor, corner of 57th Street, and not at Google. This is
the building with the IBM logo on the front of the building.

Stammtisch:
After the meeting ... You may wish to join up with other NYLUGgers
for drinks and pub food. This month we'll be over at TGI Friday's

but we are also evaluating other options for the future and welcome
your suggestions.

Coding Workshops/Hacking Society:
This is a group of people that wants to learn about and work on coding
in Python, Smalltalk, Ruby, C++, LaTeX, and other languages, and hack on
code.
There will also be help given for those who wish to install Linux for the
first time.
Sometimes they go out to eat afterward.
Bring something to show off and discuss!
The workshops meet every other Tuesday, at the NY Public Library,
Hudson Park Branch. 66 Leroy St. NY NY from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Next meetings are December 21, and January 4.
