[SGVLUG] SGVLUG meeting Thur 1/10 7-9pm at caltech

[matti]

Hi!

We are having our general meeting tonite!

The topic looks really good, and I would like
to encourage everyone to help spread the word,
especially around Caltech and JPL as we would
love to see more students, staff, and faculty 
at our meetings.

--- please help spread the word ---

Each month we have a meeting with typically a 1.5hr
long presentation of an interesting topic regarding
linux/open source/slashdot/it topics.

The meetings are FREE.

Anyone interested is welcome to attend.

time 7-9pm at caltech,
more info please see

http://www.sgvlug.org

afterwards we goto a local burger/food
spot for food and drinks to continue
the discussion.

please feel free to join us

This month's topic:


Dan Kegel of Google, a longtime Linux user and developer,
will present a grabbag of interesting topics:

- Quick Picasa 2.7 for Linux demo. (Picasa is Google's
photo management software for Windows and Linux, but
many people don't know about the Linux version)

- Quick Wine status report. (Wine is Linux's implementation
of Win32; it lets you run many Windows applications.)

- Introduction to Zumastor. (Zumastor is Linux's answer to ZFS,
kind of; it lets you take atomic snapshots of any filesystem, and
easily replicate those snapshots to remote systems.)

Dan is a developer for all three projects, and was elected the release
manager
for the upcoming 1.0 release of Wine, so feel free to ask all
the technical questions you like...

thanks!
matti

ps - also note, for those who are students at
caltech, there is a very interesting presentation
