For this meeting we will revisit a time-honored (but recently neglected)
NBLUG tradition: Stump the Geek. We'll open up the floor for questions
about Linux and we'll try our best to answer them. Be gentle...

Last night at the 2010 Dec. 14 meeting of NBLUG, elections for officers
were
held with the following results:
President: Kyle Rankin
Vice-President: Allan Cecil
Treasurer: Frank Ball
Scribe: Roger House
Director at Large: Bill Marlin
Director at Large: Jezra Lickter
Roger House
As a reminder if you would like to give a lightning talk please sign up at
the door. We'll go with the first four lightning talks followed by a
general hackfest.
We will also be holding the elections tonight and there are currently no
nominations for the Vice President position. You may nominate yourself or
someone else prior to the election. There are no contested seats so the
current plan is for Roger House, our present scribe, to take a voice vote
during the meeting. The list of elected persons will be sent to the
announce list after the meeting.

Description:
Instead of a regular speaker, this month we are going to do a hackfest.
Like the previous hackfests we will take half of the meeting to conduct
lightning talks from the first four people who sign up for one. After
that we will spend the rest of the time in a more loosely-structured
social setting where everyone can show each other what they have been
working on or ask for help. This would be a good meeting to bring your
computers.
During this meeting we will also conduct our annual NBLUG elections.

Description:
When a server is used in production, you want every possible level of
fault tolerance. Ethernet bonding allows you to create redundant NICs
on a server so that you can lose a NIC, a ethernet cable, or even
potentially a switch, without downtime.
In this talk Kyle will introduce the concept of ethernet bonding,
discuss the different bonding modes, and describe how to set up bonding
on Red Hat and Debian-based systems.

Description:
SSH is one of the most widely used network protocols. Much more than a
replacement for telnet, SSH has many tricks up its encrypted sleeve and
harnessing them is a rite of passage for any keyboard cowboy. In this
talk, Aaron will discuss the core protocol itself, the history of
development and how you can use OpenSSH to better secure your packets
through the tubes.

Speaker: Glen Worstell
Description:
The U.C.S.C Long Marine lab includes the 'costalab', where I work
taking care of 4 servers, mostly Ubuntu, and a few windows desktops.
The costalab studies marine mammals and birds all over the world.
Google on 'costalab' to find out more about what we do.
About half of the talk will be specific to the costalab work - what
information the researchers collect, how it is stored and analyzed, the
benefits to the world from this research, etc. This should be of
interest to a much wider audience than linux gurus.
The rest of the talk will be about our Ubuntu servers, how they are
configured, how they are used, and particular tools that get heavy use
(including Python, rsync, NX, rsnapshot,geany, Ksplice, and Postgres).
A Q&A session will follow.

description:
This month we are going to do something a little different. Instead of
having a formal presentation, we are going to experiment with a
"Hackfest." What this means is that we will have free-form lightning
talks for up to the first half of the meeting, and then reserve the
last half of the meeting so everyone can hack on things or just sit
around and chat about Linux. The lightning talks are open to anyone so
if you have something interesting you have been working on and could
present on it for 5-10 minutes, we will have a sign-up sheet for
you at the beginning of the meeting.
