Hello Webmasters!

I was wondering if we could maintain a page of upcoming speakers
(beyond simply the next talk listed on the "Meetings" page, and the
next two talks which are listed on the front page).

I just discovered that I double-booked February, because I didn't check my
email archive, I only checked the website, when seeing how far in advanced
we had speakers scheduled.


Thanks!

I screwed up and double-booked February.  Since Mark (GoSSIP talk) was
first, he's confirmed for February (webmaster, see my previous mail).

So Steve Martensen's Scalix talk is moved, and CONFIRMED, for March.

Can we please put this up on the website (along with Mark/Gossip)?

Thanks!

Gentlemen,
 
I understand your perspective and wouldn't dream of giving a sales
pitch.? I think the idea of bringing a developer to talk about our
approach to DHTML would be time well spent for your audience and I am
certainly capable? of addressing any messaging questions.? While at
Lotus I designed/implemented/maintained messaging infrastructures of a
few organizations of which you may have heard: SSA, US Senate, US
Census, Procter & Gamble, US Postal service, Delloitte&Touche, Disney,
Symantec, and the list goes on.? Only in the tens of millions of
seats!? : )
 
I will present a VERY brief introduction of the company, discuss the
architecture of the server, demonstrate the web client and the Outlook
support and turn it over to the developer to discusss the web cleint
as well as open it to Q&A.

It's rare and pleasant to have more than one meeting ahead of time
booked.  Thank you!  I should have added them to
http://www.svlug.org/meetings.shtml and we have infrastructure in place,
there, to accomodate multiple future meetings -- I've just fallen a bit
behind.  Sorry about that.  Will catch up, imminently.  (Yes, I did just
now note your followup about rescheduling one of the upcoming speakers.)

OK, we now have initial data added to
http://www.svlug.org/meetings.shtml for Jan through May, _except_ for
April.  I've search the archives of both these two mailing lists, and
can't seem to find anything definite for that month.

These were my notes based on trawling through the archives, posted in
hopes they're useful.  As you'll see by the large numbers of "TBA" and
blank fields on the Web page, we still need, well, pretty much all the
usual details for the upcoming several speakers. 




January:  Dr. Moshe Bar, Qlusters, Inc.
February:  Mark C. Langston (no affiliation), GoSSIP Project
March: Steve Martensen, Scalix
April: (unverified:  Maybe an as-yet-unnamed speaker from Oracle?)
May:  David Allen, Windows to Linux Migration

Other possibles:  Yosemite Technologies, Inc. (the Tapeware guys)
                  Donald Becker, Penguin Computing (Beowulf)
                  Nokia, Gtk+ WebCore project

Thanks.

Here are all the blanks:

  Feb. 2nd - GOSSiP:

    GOSSiP (Gossip Optimization for Selective Spam Prevention:
    http://sufficiently-advanced.net/ ) is a distributed, peer-to-peer
    reputation management system. It tracks the behavior of e-mail senders
    and shares senders' reputations among participating mail servers.
    These reputations may then be used by mail servers as part of a 
    comprehensive program to combat unwanted e-mail.

    Mark C. Langston has been doing systems administration for more
    than 10 years. In that time, he has worked for small groups and huge
    companies. He has worked in academia, and industry, for startups and
    long-established companies, and for salaries ranging from
    below-subsistence to obscene in size. He's worked his way from the most
    junior of technical employees to Chief Technical Officer and corporate
    board member. He is on the advisory committee for the Linux Professional
    Institute certification, and is an active member of SAGE and USENIX.

    [I put the above together from his website; we should prob. double-check
    that it's a suitable bio.]


  Mar. 2nd - Scalix:

    Scalix ( http://www.scalix.com/ ) produces a Linux email server
    which supports shared calendaring and advanced email features,
    delivering desktop-grade productivity to users running Outlook
    and/or popular browsers such as Mozilla, Firefox and Internet Explorer.
    Scalix's messaging server can run side-by-side with both mainstream
    proprietary systems, such as Microsoft Exchange, and open source
    applications, bridging the two worlds and integrating with a company's
    existing IT infrastructure. 

    Steve Martensen is Sr. Messaging Specialist at Scalix. He has been
    in the messaging industry since 1991, first working for Lotus
    Development on cc:Mail then on to Lotus Notes, then focusing for
    several years on messaging migration and now at Scalix for the past
    two years.  He wrote and developed the Exchange to Scalix migration
    process.

    [I need to get the name and bio of the developer who will be joining
    Steve at this talk]


  Apr. 6th - Penguin Computing [Not sure of exact topic title!]
  [TENTATIVE; I had to move them, waiting for confirmation]

    Penguin Computing ( http://www.penguincomputing.com/ ) is a
    leading provider of high-performance Linux-based computer systems,
    system management software, and integration services.
    Penguin's extensive customer base includes Fortune 1000
    companies, educational institutions, and government agencies.

    [Details on actual talk topic needs to go here]

    Donald Becker is Penguin Computing's Chief Technology Officer
    and was a co-founder of the original Beowulf project, which
    is the cornerstone for commodity-based high-performance cluster
    computing. Don's work in parallel and distributed computing began in
    1983 at MIT's Real Time Systems group. He is known throughout the
    international community of operating system developers for his
    contributions to networking software and as the driving force behind
    beowulf.org.


  May 4th - "Windows to Linux Migration Roadmap":

    This talk will give guidance and best-practices methodology for
    performing a successful enterprise migration of network services from
    Windows to Linux. Linux migration paths for Windows NT, Windows 2000,
    Active Directory, and Exchange 5.5 / 2000 will be exploredm as will
    will explore DHCP, DNS, directory, authentication, file, print,
    messaging, groupware, and web services migration from Windows to Linux
    servers. Migrating from Windows to Linux desktops will also be examined.

    David Allen is president of Computer Resources Consulting and author of
    the book "Windows to Linux Migration Toolkit" (published by Syngress).
    He has performed over 25,000 migrations across various platforms on
    five continents.

Put his name and title in, marked the listing as "(tentative)", left
topic as "TBA", and used the Penguin Computing PR blatt as placeholder
where a topic paragraph would ordinarily be.

I'm guessing that there might have been a line missing right before
"will explore"?  I've done my best to fix the sentence, anyway, in the
posted copy on http://www.svlug.org/meetings.shtml .  The result may or 
may not be exactly what David wanted to say, but at least it's coherent.

(Yes, I did fix "exploredm" to "explored,", and did lots of other pedantic 
little punctuation / grammar fixes that hardly anyone will ever notice.  ;-> )

DIRECTIONS

  Plug in the address (5100 El Camino Real, Los Altos) into your
  favorite Internet mapping site, or...

  From CA-85, take El Camino Real north.  Just past Rengstorff, the
  restaurant will be on your left; make a U-turn at the next light.
  Park on the street or in the lot behind the restaurant.

  From US-101, take the Rengstorff exit (south/west) and follow
  Rengstorff until it ends at El Camino.  Turn right on El Camino and
  U-turn as above.  Alternate: take San Antonio Rd instead and turn
  left on El Camino.

  From I-280, take the El Monte Rd. / Moody Rd. exit and head east on
  El Monte.  Turn left onto Foothill Expressway, then right onto San
  Antonio Blvd.  Take San Antonio to El Camino Real and turn right.
  The restaurant will be on your right after a couple of blocks (if
  you reach Rengstorff you have gone too far).

  On public transit, take VTA Light Rail or Caltrain to the Mountain
  View Transit Center, then take Line 34 or 35 to Showers & Latham (in
  front of Wal*Mart).  Walk down Showers to El Camino, then a block or
  two down El Camino to the restaurant.  Or take VTA Line 22 from
  either direction along El Camino and get off near Rengstorff.  Or go
  to http://www.511.org and use their Trip Planner to plan your route.

  You can also email me if you will need a ride from the train station
  and I might be able to arrange something.


We look forward to seeing you there!

Spooky.  This is the subscription of Leonard N. Zubkoff, who was killed
August 29, 2002 in a helicoptor crash.  Leonard was a Linux kernel
developer, creator of the Buslogic/Mylex driver, author of mtx, longtime
CTO of VA Linux Systems, XFree86 core team member, Lucid emacs
developer, creator of the Dandelion Digital recording and publishing
firm, noted musician/songwriter, and a very funny and fun man.

"Timed out", indeed.

Message-ID: <41BA041A.6000802@essay-software.com>


We have been developing a set of Linux administration
tool for the past 8 months.

This set will become commercially available in the next
few weeks.

The first application is a Samba/Ldap user, group, share
permissions editor called PowerSmb. A demo of this program
has already been posted on our site.

We are looking for beta testers for these programs. We have contacted
a Linux user group in our area, Rock River LUG, and would like
to continue with LUG's around the globe.

What is the best way to approach your user's group for beta
testers ?

Sincerely,

Done.  

Just a reminder, and not a complaint:  We don't yet have the name of the
speaker from Qlusters, nor the topic description or "More about the
speaker" blurb.  That's for the Jan. 2005 meeting.

I could probably write one based on Qlusters's Web site, but it would be
better for the speaker to provide it.

This is wrong, the archive was supposed to be private.

Hi Virigina (and everyone else).  Thanks for the confirmation!

Would it be possible to get a more thorough description of what Mr. Becker
will be speaking about?  Right now, we don't have an exact topic listed,
and simply have the following for the description:

  Penguin Computing [link] is a leading provider of high-performance
  Linux-based computer systems, system management software, and
  integration services.  Penguin's extensive customer base includes
  Fortune 1000 companies, educational institutions, and government
  agencies.

And a small bio under "About the Speaker":

  Donald Becker is Penguin Computing's Chief Technology Officer, and
  was co-founder of the original Beowulf project, which is the
  cornerstone for commodity-based high-performance cluster
  computing. Don's work in parallel and distributed computing began in
  1983 at MIT's Real Time Systems group. He is known throughout the
  international community of operating system developers for his
  contributions to networking software and as the driving force behind
  beowulf.org.


I'm fairly sure that's all we need, but I'm Cc'ing the SVLUG Speaker Coord'n
list and webmaster, just in case.

Thanks again, and happy new year to you, too!

Hi again Russell, it's Bill Kendrick.  I happen to be SVLUG's speaker
coordinator, too. :^)

The project definitely sounds interesting, from what I've skimmed over so far.
The device/platform agnosticity, open specifications, etc. will definitely
be of interest to the kinds of people we get at SVLUG meetings.

I was wondering, though, how technical of a presentation do you think we
could get?  (SVLUG definitely loves technical!)

We're currently booked through June, so the earliest date you could speak
wouldn't be until July.  Would Wednesday, July 6th work?


In the meantime, if you'd like me to put you into contact with any of the
other local LUGs, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks, good luck, and happy new year!

Bill, thanks again for the note. My gut told me the LUGs in CA were well
connected to one another.

I have looked at SVLUG past meeting topics and believe we could put
together a program that meets the technical interests of your members.
It would be a matter of finding the right development team and
presenter, but the Liberty Alliance is made-up of organizations with a
wide and in-depth range of technical capabilities and specializations. 

This will be an interesting project to work on early next year given
federated identity management and web services are projected to explode
in 2005 and Liberty Alliance is the only global organization addressing
the many issues of FIM from an open perspective. If cool with you, let's
pencil us in for July and I will begin investigating best possible
presenters and program development during mid-January.

Thanks for the offer of putting me in touch with other CA LUGs. Of
course I will take you up on this as I work to promote our event in Palo
Alto on the 24th of January. This event will features tracks from both a
developer and business perspective and if you could circulate the
following invite to SVLUG members, I would greatly appreciate it.

I will send a program outline directly to you as an attachment in a
separate e-mail. I don't want to clog up any inboxes included on this
e-mail distribution list unnecessarily.

Thanks, Bill. I look forward to working with you in 2005! Happy New Year
to you and yours. Russ.




On January 24th, at the Palo Alto Crowne Plaza Hotel, Liberty Alliance
will hold an informational event featuring tracks focusing on federated
identity management from both a developer (including Java and Linux) and
business perspective. The Liberty Alliance Project is the only global
organization working to advance federated identity management
specifications and identity-based Web services using open standards.

This free event will provide developers, system integrators and
businesses with information about how open federated identity management
solutions are helping enterprises address a wide range of B2B, B2E, B2C
and end-user identity management, privacy and security issues. There
will be interactive demonstrations of Liberty Alliance specifications at
work by many Liberty Alliance members including, AOL, General Motors,
Nokia, Vodafone, Neustar and Novell. These Liberty Alliance members, as
well as members of the Liberty Alliance board, will be available to
discuss how open federated identity management specifications are
benefiting developers and businesses today. 

The event runs from 11:30am-4:30pm and begins with a buffet lunch and
key note address by Donal O'Shea, executive director of the Liberty
Alliance. Developers and businesses interested in attending can register
online at
https://www.projectliberty.org/scripts/developer_event_paloalto.asp.  

We hope to see SVLUG members on the 24th. Get in touch at any time if
you have questions. In the meantime, a one-page information sheet is
available to provide more details. Please let me know if I can send this
sheet to any interested members.  

Who: Liberty Alliance Project
What: Developer and Business Informational Event and Demonstrations
Where: Crowne Plaza Hotel; Palo Alto
When: January 24, 11:30AM - 4:30 PM

The Liberty Alliance Project was formed in September 2001 to address the
technical and business issues associated with federated network
identity. The Alliance is moving to accomplish this goal through the
ongoing release of open technical specifications as well as business and
policy guidelines to help companies deploy federated identity services
across a broad range of products, systems and devices. More information
on the Liberty Alliance Project is available at www.projectliberty.org.

Best,
