-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Please note that this InstallFest is at Sonoma State, not at O'Reilly. Please see below for information on the exact location and directions. This is our usual installfest location. WHEN: Saturday, February 5th - 10:30AM - 4:30PM PDT WHERE: SSU Schulz 1121; http://nblug.org/ifloc WHO: Anyone wanting help in installing Linux onto their computer URL: http://nblug.org/installfest/ WHAT DO I DO: Go to http://nblug.org/installfest/ to sign up!!!! >>> What is an InstallFest and who can come? <<< Instead of putting all of the usual "what is an InstallFest" info in this and future announcements, we have a link up on our website as to what a NBLUG InstallFest entails and how to participate. If you point your browser of choice to http://nblug.org/installfest/, you'll be presented with all the info you ever wanted to know about what goes on at an InstallFest, and how you can get the most out of attending one. Anyone is more than welcome to attend. If you need help or just want to hang out and talk, you are more than welcome to show up. They are always totally free; you might want to bring a few dollars for pizza, however. >>> How do I sign up? <<< We will again be taking signups for this InstallFest, so please be sure to visit that URL if you plan on attending. People, who signup and reserve a time slot, are first in line. We've found that by taking signups, we can help more people in a timely fashion. We can also make sure that enough helpers are available for those wanting help. If you need help at the last minute, you can still just show up and we'll probably be able to help you, but it really helps us if you register first, preferably a week or more in advance so we have a chance to beg for more helpers if we need them. >>> What if I want to offer help? <<< If you're interested in helping out, please contact installfest(a)nblug.org; if you've successfully installed Fedora (or RedHat or Mandrake or SuSE or Debian or FreeBSD or OpenBSD or YellowDog or ???) before, you can probably help out. We can even use a bit of help from somebody helping people bring their heavy equipment in. Besides, it's fun to come hang out with all the geeks. ;) For helpers, the schedule is a little different: 8:00AM - Breakfast (optional) at an undecided location. 10:00AM - Room open to helpers for setup 10:30AM - Installs begin (event start) 4:00PM - Installs should be done by now. 4:30PM - Installs must be done by now. 5:00PM - Room closed; alarms go off, doors lock, police show up. We always need helpers, and we can usually use more helpers than we get. It's a good way to "give back" to NBLUG and it's a geeky good time. (If you're interested in helping out but can't do an InstallFest, please consider giving a presentation, contact speakers(a)nblug.org >>> Location and Directions <<< The InstallFest will take place on Sonoma State's campus. We will be using room Schulz 1121, which is in the Schulz Information Center (aka, the Library). Directions and information on parking follow. ** Updated room directions from Dustin; The room location has changed, but the room number is the same. To access 1121, you now need to go through the main library entrance on the ground floor, and enter through the door immediately on your left, just past the security scanner. Don't worry - there will be signs. ** Wireless access update http://www.sonoma.edu/it/news/2003/SSUWirelessNetw.html Our wireless network has changed/increased in size on campus. From now on, you'll have to "login" to use the wireless network. If you don't have a SSU account, you have to enter an email address into a web page you get when you try to access the Internet. I've confirmed that the open ports are DNS, HTTP and HTTPS. Basically, if you want/need anything else, you'll have to be wired. Here are some maps and directions that SSU makes available on their site: http://www.sonoma.edu/university/maps/start.html -- Master index of all interesting direction-related info. http://www.sonoma.edu/university/maps/schulzinfoctr.html -- Nice map of the campus with the library (Info Center) highlighted Parking tips from Mike & Dustin: http://nblug.org/images/schulz-library.gif -- Similar to the map above, but Mike has highlighted the parking areas, and also drawn a path to get to the right part of the library from Cotati Ave. Parking on Saturday is free. You may park in either Lot D or Lot J. Note that any lot that is marked, as residence parking is OFF LIMITS at all times unless you have a proper parking permit. If you need to park close to the building to bring your equipment in, there is 30 minute parking on the West side of Schulz and on the East side of Schulz there are two 15 minute spots. Once you drop your equipment off, you should move your car to one of the other lots mentioned above. Handicapped parking is available in the reserved lot areas, and on the West side of the library near the library loading zone. Handicapped parking is labeled. - -- Eric Eisenhart NBLUG Co-Founder, Scribe and InstallFest Coordinator The North Bay Linux Users Group http://nblug.org/ eric(a)nblug.org, IRC: Freiheit@freenode, AIM: falschfreiheit, ICQ: 48217244 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFB4f1+E6qEmrbN7dcRAlpUAKCjYkSITkSmijw5sd7T+8HqG83GIQCgsBiL oM+/C3s9SzedCn/h49E0Y/I= =Lw8W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

General Meeting (2004/08/10) : LAMP With YellowDog Linux

by Augie Schwer

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear fellow NBLUGer, This month I am proud to inform you that my good friend Matt Roberts has agreed to give an exceptionally rousing talk on "LAMP With YellowDog Linux". LAMP for the un-initiated stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP/Perl, and is the standard software compilation for all your favorite web sites. Description: "When the opportunity arose for me to borrow some old hardware from my office, I jumped at it in hopes of running my own webserver from home. I was allowed to use a Mac PowerPC. Naturally, I looked into Linux on the Mac architecture and, fearing Debian, decided to try out Terrasoft's Yellow Dog Linux. I plan to speak on how it was I came to install YDL on decade-old machine and my experiences with running LAMP on it."
