What’s possible in a post Web 2.0 world?

Innovation continues at a mind-bending pace, and this presentation will showcase some thought-provoking new directions that Web Services are headed in. The presentation will provide an overview of Amazon Web Services, including a Web Service named Mechanical Turk that allows computers to make requests of people, an online storage service, a Virtual Server controlled by a Web service, and more. There will also be a demo showing how to set up a virtual server. But mostly this will be an opportunity to have a discussion about innovation and entrepreneurial tools.

General Meeting -- How DNS Works
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

In this talk Kyle will cover the basics of how DNS (Domain Name System) works. The talk will include a short history of the service, how it works today, and a step-by-step walk-through of what happens between entering a domain into a web browser and getting back an IP address. Also covered is how you could use this new-found knowledge to take down the Internet. Specific implementations of DNS (BIND, djbdns, PowerDNS) will not be covered.

General Meeting -- Tom Haddon from Canonical
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Tom works for Canonical, the makers of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, etc. as a
Systems Administrator for Launchpad (https://launchpad.net) and
Landscape (https://landscape.canonical.com).

From Tom :

"The main topic of the talk will be about a volunteer project undertaken
by the SF-LUG to resurrect a housing authority's computer lab using
Edubuntu. How the project started, where we are now, and where we go
from here. Possibly with a demonstration of LTSP (the Linux Terminal
Server Project) on my laptop. I'll also be happy to answer any questions
I can about Ubuntu, Canonical, Launchpad, Landscape, etc."

CANCELLED: Installfest PLUS! (was: Saturday, October 20th) :(
Start: 10:00 am
End: 4:00 pm

I'm very sorry to announce that, due to a lack of sign ups, we've chosen to cancel the upcoming installfest (scheduled for Sat. 10/20). Our hope is to schedule another in the spring.

We still want to open the 'fest up to issues beyond simply installing, so if you have suggestions, please send them along. We'd also like to advertise the 'Installfest+' to a wider audience, so please feel free to chime in with your ideas.

Thanks,

-dave. (Installfest coordinator)
