security is aware.

8:45? - Hobnobbing and snack devouring

See everyone there!



June 22nd:

Brian Mack of TekSystems has graciously offered to come and speak to  
us regarding Linux in the marketplace, and UNIX administration, UNIX  
employment, and the recruiting business in general.

I saw his talk at the AUG, and it was quite informative.  He gave  
well reasoned, well thought out answers to questions posed by the  
group, on a spontaneous basis.


July 20th:

Sid Lane, DBA for The Weather Channel Interactive has graciously  
agreed to do a talk on MySQL clustering on July 20th.  We employ a  
pretty serious MySQL infrastructure here, and Sid has some great  
stuff he'll be covering in July.


As usual:

Speakers always sought, all topics welcome.

Don't forget that with enough notice we can get network for the room,  
and have an installfest, installation demos, and the like.  Be  
thinking about that too.
