[OCLUG-Tech] April Meeting: 2018-04-05 @ 19:00

[Scott Murphy]

Location: We will be at Algonquin this month, room T-111. For those who have 
not noticed, we are back to the first Thursday of the month.

REMINDER: If you are not planning on attending the April meeting in person, 
sending a proxy as described in the previous mailing list post would be nice to 
have, otherwise we have to keep doing this until we are successful. Rather than 
see how determined we are to complete the elections, please help us get this 
annual piece of corporate business completed in a timely manner.

This is our AGM and election of board members. At this point, we have enough 
candidates for an election, however we still have to go through the 
announcement of the slate to the membership and accept any nominations from the 
floor.

Following the AGM, we will have the official launch of the new website and 
branding. After that, we will have a discussion on why should we use Linux and 
a discussion on what is desirable in user interfaces.

There will be a one hour pre-meeting item from 18:00 to 19:00 for people who 
are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who 
are just getting started.

After the meeting, there may be an optional social event at one of the nearby 
pubs or restaurants. A short discussion and vote as to location will be taken 
then.

After the talks, there will be the opportunity for a GPG key signing. This is a 
monthly offering, just look for Scott after the talk and we can go from there. 
Bring some kind of photo ID and some keyslips if you expect people to sign your 
key. If you need some method of creating pages of keyslips, there is an online 
slip generator available at http://openpgp.quelltextlich.at/slip.html

Note: New speakers welcome. If you have a topic or know someone who may have a 
good topic for a meeting, feel free to suggest it to the board.

[OCLUG-Tech] Final reminder of the 2018 AGM

[Scott Murphy]

---
   The April talk announcement will go out this weekend in a separate
   mailing. This announcement is being sent to ensure we get sufficient
   members or proxies to have our AGM. This message will be repeated a
   couple of days prior to the AGM.
---


The April meeting starts with our AGM as required by the corporation bylaws.

At present, we have the following candidates for the board:
- Bruce Davis
- Ian Gorman
- Kelly Kendrick
- Scott Murphy
- John Nash
- Tug Williams

If anyone else is interested in being on the board, feel free to self-
nominate no later than April 3rd, 2018. If several people are willing to
come on board, a few of us are willing to withdraw our intent in order to
get some new blood in. Just so everyone is aware, four board members is
sufficient, six would be better in case of circumstances requiring an
existing member to step down.

In addition, according to the bylaws of the non-profit corporation, we
require at least 20 members people to be present, either in person or via
proxy. We will have a sign-up sheet for the election and will require all
present  to sign in order to prove the election was held in compliance with
the  bylaws. If we do not have the requisite number of people/proxies, we
are  required to repeat this at every future meeting until we do meet the
criteria. If you are not going to be there, please register a proxy. To
meet the member criteria, our official member roster is this mailing list.

Proxies can be registered by sending an email to either John Nash (john dot
nash at uottawa dot ca) or Scott Murphy (scott dot murphy at arrow dash eye
dot com) prior to 17:00 on Wednesday, April 4th or that we have a record

bylaws, replicated below:

Re: [OCLUG-Tech] does anyone still use "dump" for backups these days?

[Scott Murphy]

I suspect that the answer to that depends on what you are using as a backup 
medium.

I have a tape robot and more tapes than I can ever possibly use, so it gets 
some use. Mostly for archives. Amanda is a pain, as it wants to fill tapes, so 
lots of tape changes to get as much on a tape as possible. Bacula is somewhat 
better, as long as you like config files. rsync to a NAS is my usual backup 
strategy and synching the NAS to another is my redundancy. The occasional dd to 
an external HDD from my laptop is also a hedge against disaster.

In defence of dump, I used it relatively recently to virtualize a system that 
was on old hardware and not readily accessible. Other methods I tried failed. 
Restoring dump files to correctly sized virtual disks & LVMs on a new VM from a 
live distro made it an easy task. I suspect I could even turn that into a short 
topic talk for a future meeting if there is interest.

Re: [OCLUG-Tech] thank y'all for taking so much of that excess off my hands

[Scott Murphy]

As one of the individuals who grabbed a board, thanks for sharing. I’ll also be 
happy to see more of the same.

I guess I’ll have to gather all of my old stuff and bring it out to a meeting 
as well. I do have a box of VOIP desk phones gathered together that I’m not 
using and could be given away. I should bring them out for anyone who wants 
one. Some are more complicated to set up than others, but there are lots of 
instructions out there.

Scott

Location Mostly Unknown: We will be at Algonquin this month, but our room has

Not a bad idea, however we would have to make arrangements for a space. The two

[OCLUG-Tech] Reminder: LITW 2017 This weekend!

[Scott Murphy]

This year LITW will be held at Strathcona Park on Sunday July 16 @ 13:00 
(1:00pm) rain or shine.

This is a casual, family oriented event. Bring kids, significant others, 
devices, laptops, battery operated projects, or whatever suits your fancy. 
Bring some food to share and a fun attitude.

The board will bring a cooler of pop/juice/water, some paper plates, utensils, 
paper towels and anything else we think would be a good idea.

If you are planning on attending, please RSVP to the board with a count of how 
many people you are bringing so we have an idea as to how much to bring.

Looking forward to another successful LITW and we will see you there!

Expect to see at least one more reminder email before then.

I got burned (literally) with this before. I started putting brother labels on 
power supplies and matching devices as a result. Luckily, I have very few of 
these devices left to deal with. I ended up getting one of those devices where 
you slide the drive in vertically and as long as it is a SATA drive, I’m good. 
I have kept one USB to PATA for the occasion where I might have to try to read 
an older drive. Cuts down on problems immensely.

Cheers,
Scott

We certainly can. We have a generic address for the board members that is kept 
up to date.

[OCLUG-Tech] December Meeting: 2016-12-01 @ 19:00

[Scott Murphy]

Location: Woodroffe Campus, Algonquin College - Building B, Room B-185 ***NOTE 
THE ROOM CHANGE***

Note: I have no idea where this room is located, so leave yourself a little 
time to locate the room.

Tonight we will have two sessions, one on extracting useful date from PDFs and 
the other will be a group chat on who uses Linux and what they use it for.

There will be a one hour pre-meeting item from 18:00 to 19:00 for people who 
are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who 
are just getting started.

After the meeting, there will be a social event at one of the nearby pubs or 
restaurants. A short discussion and vote as to location will be taken then.

After the talks, there will be the opportunity for a GPG key signing. This is a 
monthly offering, just look for Scott after the talk and we can go from there. 
Bring some kind of photo ID and some keyslips if you expect people to sign your 
key.If you need some method of creating pages of keyslips, there is an [online 
slip generator](http://openpgp.quelltextlich.at/slip.html) available.

Note: We are always soliciting speakers for future meetings. If anyone wants to 
get up and cover a favourite project, solution, etc. feel free to contact the 
board with an outline.

[OCLUG-Tech] November Meeting: 2016-11-03 @ 19:00

[Scott Murphy]

Location: Woodroffe Campus, Algonquin College - Building T, Room B-242

Note: the room can be a little difficult to find, based on experiences last 
month. The easiest way to find the room is to head towards the pedestrian 
overpass entrance on the second floor. When you have just about reached it, the 
door to B242 that is unlocked will be on the left. This is just past the 
vending machines.

Tonight we will have two presentations, one on raspberry pi clusters and the 
other on Portable toolkits.

There will be a one hour pre-meeting item from 18:00 to 19:00 for people who 
are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who 
are just getting started.

[OCLUG-Tech] October Meeting: 2016-10-06

[Scott Murphy]

Location: Woodroffe Campus, Algonquin College - Building B, Room B-242
NOTE: This is a different building than our previous meetings

Tonight we will have one presentation with the possibility of a second one (if 
we need one). Patrick Malcolm will be giving a talk on ransomware. Given the 
interest and questions from the last talk, we are only formally scheduling one 
presentation this time.

[OCLUG-Tech] September Meeting Cancelled

[Scott Murphy]

I have not been able to obtain confirmation on the room for September as of 
today, so I’m cancelling the meeting.

If you still want to get together, we could still meet up at Chances R on 
Thursday. More of a social event than a regular meeting. I should have a proper 
set of rooms booked for October. Last year we had a similar problem, as 
Algonquin was not willing to allocate a room right at the beginning of the fall 
semester.

The topic was going to be ransomware with Patrick Malcolm, so if he is willing, 
we will have that in October.

[OCLUG-Tech] Open Source IEEE Standards event @uOttawa - August 8th

[Scott Murphy]

I’m passing this on for anyone who might be interested in participating. If you 
are interested in participating, contact Alfredo Herrera. Contact details are 
at the bottom.

-

I am helping organize an event for the IEEE Standards Association in Ottawa. 
The topic will be on Open Source beyond software, notably for standards. Our 
plan is to focus on use case​s. We would like to invite industry and key 
members of the open source community to have a discussion on this topic. This 
event is part of the IEEE Standards Association outreach program, and from that
perspective we want to invite those working with standards and open source to:
•reduce development cost
•accelerate time-to-market
•mitigate vendor lock-in
•expand organizational innovation capabilities
•build community

​(These are know to open source community members, but they are not obvious to 
corporations, or traditional standards bodies.)​

Invitation to Open Source IEEE Standards event @uOttawa - August 8th

Our draft agenda currently looks like this:
  1-1:15 Introductory remarks—Don Wright, president elect IEEE-SA
  1:15-1:45 Use Case 1: Stefan Schlichting, Draeger, IEEE P11073
  1:45-2:45 Panel: Open Source, Open Standards
 o- Chuck Adams, Huawei (IEEE-SA CAG member)
 o- Ashutosh Dutta, AT, IEEE 5G co-chair
 o- Phil Wennblom, Intel (IEEE-SA CAG member *)
 o- 1-2 MORE SPEAKERS AND MODERATOR
  2:45-3 Break
  3-3:45 Open Sources Licenses, Challenges and
 Opportunities—Latonia Gordon, Microsoft (IEEE-SA CAG member)
  3:45-4:30 Use Case 2: University of Ottawa—Alfredo Herrera
  4:30-5 Wrap-up and thank you—Don Wright

Could you share details of this event with members of your community that may 
want to participate?

​Thank you in advance,

This year LITW will be held at Strathcona Park on Sunday July 17 @ 13:00 
(1:00pm)

This is a casual, family oriented event. Bring kids, significant others, 
devices, laptops, battery operated projects, your homemade drone or whatever 
suits your fancy. Bring some food to share and a fun attitude.

The board will bring a cooler of pop/juice/water, some paper plates, utensils, 
paper towels and anything else we think would be a good idea.

If you are planning on attending, please RSVP to the board with a count of how 
many people you are bringing so we have an idea as to how much to bring.

Looking forward to another successful LITW and we will see you there!

Note: We are always soliciting speakers for future meetings. If anyone wants to 
get up and cover a favourite project, solution, etc. feel free to contact the
