[ale] ALE Northwest for June 15th

[Jerald Sheets]

It's that time again, folks!

First of all, mucho thanks go out to Brian MacLeod on his Kickstart  
presentation from last month.  Lots of interesting info there.

This week:
Thursday, June 15th at the offices of The Weather Channel.

This week's guest speaker is Brian Mack of TekSystems.  Brian will be  
talking about Linux hiring, UNIX hiring, and the tech recruiting  
"biz" in Atlanta in general.

Brian will also be taking your questions regarding getting hired,  
being more attractive to employers, etc.  He usually does a free-form  
open question and answer type of a presentation, however I'll let him  
direct the meeting as he wishes.  All questions are fair game!

I don't mean to speak for him, but if you're "in the market" or  
looking to be "in the market", Brian is the guy for you.  He may even  
have a couple of potentials in his back pocket, so you might want to  
"come prepared" :)

Refreshments served, etc. etc.

early.  We will escort folks up all together or in groups as  
personnel permits.



Upcoming Speakers:
Don't forget that next month Sid Lane of the Weather Channel will be  
talking about MySQL clustering, and I'm going to try and twist his  
arm to talk about performance tuning as well.  The following month is

August is still open.  I'm still trying to get Ryan Matteson to come  
and do Apache Internals with us, but I have no confirmation as of yet.

We also have Raylynn Knight lined up for September, and will be  
covering system monitoring using FOSS tools.  (the last time we  
spoke, a decision hadn't been made on which one yet.)

Still looking for October through December.  That should be enough  
time for many of you to come up with something for us.  Bob and some  
security goodness, or Jim and some Linux consulting stuff.   
Geofferey?  What do you do again?  :)

Anyone, any topic, any time.  Let's all take part!
