Looking for adjunct instructors

Hi all,

I posted something like this a while back, but we're looking again.
To restate, I am an instructor at ITT Technical Institute (Where CPLUG
meetings are held!) (I'm the one that brought the students to the
meeting ;)  We are looking for computer networking instructors, not
just for Linux.    For more information and to apply, go here

Thanks!
Amy

your chosen Android topics

Thanks to all who responded to the survey!

There is high interest in ROMs, software development, and automation,
and practically no interest in backups.  (Ironically, backups are a
required component of messing with ROMs, unless you like losing all your
local files and settings. :) )

It looks like the winning topic is ROMs by a slim margin, so I'll plan a
talk on ROMs.  I could follow up with talks on software development and
automation at later meetings, unless someone else is interested in
presenting these topics.

Humble Bundle

The Humble Bundle is once again at it, and if you're a Linux user, you 
should at least consider contributing. Their site explains it all, at 
http://www.humblebundle.com

Basically, they provide some games (this time for Android and Linux, but 
also includes Mac and Windows) and then you choose how much you want to 
pay for them, where you want the money to go, and everyone wins. You get 
the games, they get the money, and however much you chose goes to 
charity. They do track how many users want to be counted as Linux users, 
so make sure that if you do this, you check the appropriate box.

I think it's a great deal, a great way to raise charity money, and a 
great way to show that there are Linux users out there who are willing 
to pay for gaming to come to our platform of choice.

If you do buy the bundle, you'll get the software for all 4 platforms, 
you don't have to choose which. And if you're a Steam user, yes, you get 
Steam keys so that you can keep all your games in one place.

Cheers,
Chris

Linux: A Getting-Started Guide

Pretty good information here for Linux newbies:

Linux: A Getting-Started Guide
Ready to try Linux? Here's how to get started.

By Ian Paul, PCWorld    Jan 30, 2012 9:40 pm

Are you fed up with Microsoft Windows and ready to give Linux a try? 
Here's how to get started. This guide for Linux discusses who the Linux 
OS is right for, what you need to get started, and how to turn your 
Windows PC into a dual-boot computer so you can have the best of both 
worlds--Linux and Windows.

mcollective || orchestration

I'd be interested in someone doing a talk on mcollective or
orchestration in general.

I'd actually even volunteer to do an intro talk on it if no one else
is using it, but I'd prefer an expert give the talk as I'd like to
learn something.

Barring that I would even like a semi-intelligent discussion on the
list here about mcollective or orchestration in general..

Android user count?

Are there enough Android users in CPLUG to sustain interest for
Android-related talks?  Development, automation, ROMs, etc?
