Hi all ye land LUGers,
We’re still looking for a new home and trying out some
different locations – This month we’re at Panera Bread
in Paramus ( http://alturl.com/8oxq7 )
Panera Bread
165 W State Rt 4, Paramus, NJ
(201) 368-0752
Apart from talking Turkey (the Linux variety instead of
Thanksgiving) we’ll be talking over the where and when
for this year’s Christmas Bash..
Hope 2 C U there,
Nick. . .
Hi Gang,
I’ve arranged for us to try Paramus’ Panera Bread’s back
room this month. I went to a meeting there last week and it was
better than I’d previously thought.. No place to keep library or
our equipment, but good snacks, bevies and parking – easy access
for the northerners too..
Let me know if you’d rather not go there and I’ll keep looking.
Looked at several places (mainly restaurants) near Rt3 Clifton
but might be too noisy and we’d have to buy dinner..
Full details can be seen at http://MeetUp.com/NJLinux and, if
everyone’s cool with it, we’ll add it to our Website.
We’ve had a few suggestions for a meeting place. I’m going to do a quick rundown here, without making any judgments, I’ll leave that to discussion on the lists, and at tomorrow’s meeting.
Cool Beans, Oradell.
Verona Boat House, Verona ??
Launchpad Creatives, 97 Main Street Woodbridge, NJ
Elizabeth Library
Morris County Library
Clifton Library
Hackensack Community Center (Proposed, no details)
Edison, NJ (no details)
Discussed and dismissed at our last move, we can talk to NYI in Bridgewater.
Also, a few people have requested some sort of remote possibility for people that can’t make a meeting.
Google Meetup
Skype
mikogo.com
There are pros and cons to all of these that we should discuss.
Hopefully this will provide plenty of discussion for the upcoming meeting at Cool Beans in Oradell.
We have not yet found a more permanent location, so for Wednesday October the 27th, we will be meeting at Cool Beans 304 Kinderkamack Rd in Oradell. Here is a map
We are, of course, still looking for a new location, and your participation is essential. Contact us here, on the mailing lists, or in person at the meeting.
Hello:
Due to the hard work of +Nickalf B and the generosity of Converge, we’ve had a great place to meet for the last nine months. Unfortunately, Converge is no longer going to be there at Kean University, so we will no longer have that space available.
This is your chance to have a real impact on the group. Where would you like to meet? Do you have a place that seems great, but figured that there was no opportunity to bring it up? This is your chance!
Take a look around, see if you can find a location that would be suitable for the LUG to meet in. Someplace centrally located, preferably with a projector and network access. See if you can talk to the people that run the place, and find out if it is suitable.
We are really depending on YOU, the membership to help in this effort st that we will have a place to meet going forward.
Thanks,
–murph

I just got back from Fosscon last night, it was a great small conference. Very approachable, and a lot of fun.
I’ve also been thinking, Software Freedom Day is approaching fast! We only have two meetings before September 17th. If everyone can put some thought to a location that we can use for a SFD demonstration, we really need to discuss and take action on this FAST!
I started to register, but did not have a location to put in yet.

The two locations that I presented a few months ago turn out to be very expensive, and the deadlines have passed already.
I hope to hear from some of you this Wednesday.

Sorry for the late post.
Tory did a fantastic presentation on the setup of his home server setup for media organization.
Using ZFS on Solaris, he has set up a fault-tolerant, high performance storage solution for his modest home media system.
I couldn’t possibly encapsulate the presentation in a few paragraphs, it was packed full of home server goodness. I am having trouble uploading the presentation, and I wasn’t able to open the .pptx in Libreoffice.
Updated with Tory’s slide deck. See all of you Wednesday. ZFS Based Server

Our meeting last night was a nice change of pace. Not only were we able to offload a bunch of the obsolete books from our library for a good cause, we also heard a great presentation by Evan Koblentz and Jeff Jonas of the Mid Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists group. They even brought in an Altair 8800 and started it up for us. Much thanks to them for an interesting evening. Additionally Evan and Jeff would like the NJLinux community to know about the Vintage Computer Fest coming up in May.
Rumor has it that Tory may be coming the the April meeting to do a presentation and I know Reg has been working on some things for us as well, as has Murph. So stay tuned for more details.

Greetings LUG goers and comers. Our March meeting is approaching and we will again be meeting at the Converge Coworking site in Union, NJ. On the agenda so far for this month is a presentation by Evan Koblentz of MARCH. It will be a nice treat to have a guest speaker for a change.
Thanks go to our member Murph for getting the conversation started with Evan. Additionally, Evan will be collecting all the obsolete and unwanted books we have collecting dust in our library and putting them to good use either at MARCH or through donations to InfoAge.
See you at the meeting.
