Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts

Promoting Linux and Open Source Software Freedom in Atlanta Since 1994

Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts (ALE) is a diverse group of friendly people who enjoy the freedoms and benefits of GNU Linux Computing and Free Liberating Open Source Software technologies. From novices to network administrators, from smart phones to data centers, we strive to empower every information technology user with freely distributable software and to improve every computing environment with the superior security, functionality and flexibility of Open Source Operating System solutions. -- more about ALE --

For information about upcoming weekly and monthly meetings, please check the ALE Meetup Group Calendar. We do not, and never will, require anyone to sign up with Meetup (or any other service) to attend any of our meetings; we only use it as an additional platform to connect with others in the local Atlanta area who are also interested in Linux.

ALE Central Mtg. for May 11, 2006

Filed at 4:29 pm May 8, 2006 under by Ruscetta

The feature presentation for ALE’s
May 11, 2006 Central Meeting will be

“An Introduction to the Xen of Virtualization”

with Andrew Cathrow,
Red Hat Solutions Architect

The presentation will be a brief introduction to virtualization,
from business drivers through to the technical implementation.
Various virtualization technologies will be covered, such as
VMware, Bochs and QEMU, but the concentration will be on
the newer open source project, Xen, a Paravirtualizing
Hypervisor. We’ll discuss the technical implementation details
of Xen with features and benefits comparisons to traditional
approaches. The finish will be a demo with shameless plugs for
Fedora and Red Hat.

About the presenter:
Andrew Cathrow is a Solutions Architect for Red Hat working
out of Atlanta. He has been working with Linux for 9 years,
RHCE certified for 7 years. Born and bred in the UK, he moved to
the US around 5 years ago – which, he suggests, might explain his
spelling!

Yes Folks! There is a meeting. I know it will happen, I just didn’t get final word on what the topic is. I believe one of our longtime ALE members will talk about something interesting.
