ALE Mailing List: ale@ale.org
Greetings, everyone!
This week’s ALE NW will be held here at The Weather Channel on-schedule.
This week’s speaker and topic is Sid lane of The Weather Channel speaking on MySQL Replication.
The meeting will start as normal. Please arrive at 7:15 for escort up to the conference area. We will try to get everyone escorted upstairs on time to be able to start on time. Presentation & Q/A period should last roughly 1 1/2 – 2 hours.
With apologies, we were not able to arrange a formal
presentation for the July ALE Central Meeting.
As an alternative, we are offering a more socially
minded informal event, which is to have a casual ALE
gathering with ALE tasting and free form Linux type
discussions at:
MELTON’S APP & TAP
2500 North Decatur Road
Decatur, GA 30033
404.634.9112
Melton’s is exactly 6 stop lights (and about 2 miles) East
of our usual Emory Law School venue. It is at the corner
of Scott Blvd. and North Decatur roads, next door to a Pet
Supermarket store.
(
Melton’s has an broad selection of brews and some
unique, reasonably priced edible offerings for both
appetizers and dinners. (Consider Irish Nachos for
instance…)
As always, if you have a Linux presentation offering,
contact or idea to share, please get in touch with:
Aaron Ruscetta
or Charles Shapiro
ALE-NE March Meeting – June 1, 2006 7:30PM – Puppy Linux

magic to keep session history.
The feature presentation for ALE’s
June 8, 2006 Central Meeting will be
Python Programming —
As Applied to a Small Web Service Project
with world renowned ubergeek,
Charles Shapiro
The Esteemed Mr. Charles Shapiro, currently languishing
in an All-Windoze Shoppe, will attempt to elucidate the
Crunchy Goodness of Object-Oriented Design and the Python
language.
The presentation will feature a simple web-based Python
application which does surprising yet ultimately silly
transformations on solved sudoku puzzles. We’ll look at
some source code and discuss design issues, in hopes that your
humble speaker can learn what he did wrong on this project
before moving on to the next.
You can currently play with the application at:

bio:
Charles Shapiro is a fan of fencing, juggling, gadgetry and most everything
‘geek’. Consistent to this calling he has been a professional programmer for
over 10 years, specializing in C and unix with a couple years of C++, Perl and
Python in the mix. He can also type faster than most people can talk, is a
Linux Lunacy Cruise alumnae, and has been a happy Linux zealot since 1996.

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!
