MerriLUG Nashua, Thur 21 Aug, Linux is Finished?


Who  : Everybody
What : Linux suggestions and improvements
Where: Martha's Exchange
Day  : Thur 21 Aug **Tomorrow**
Time : 6:00 PM for grub, 7:30 PM for discussion

:: Overview

    The kernel is done.  Who would need features beyond KDE 3.4?  Ubunto 
installation is the acme of perfection.  Should we stop developing 
Linux and just use it?

    Aside from applications, what new Linux features do you need?  What 
flaws bug you the most?  Does code size and operating speed mean enough 
these days to justify recoding?  Does Vista have anything Linux should 
add?

    Should the United Nations (or maybe NATO) decree that all new 
computer designs include a debugged Linux installer, as is done for 
Microsoft products?

    Come along for a pleasant summer evening in good company.  Ponder 
the future and what we can do about it.

 >>> RSVP to Jim Kuzdrall for dinner to assure adequate seating. <<<
 !!! If you are not a "Regular Attendee" (50%), please let me know. !!!

PySIG in two weeks - Aug 28th - BOSS

PySIG August, two weeks from today.
August 28th 2008, at the Amoskeag Business Incubator

Featured presenter, Ray Côté, from Appropriate Solutions, Inc., Peterborough.

BOSS, a 'net search API from Yahoo.  Mashups scriptable from Python!

    "BOSS (Build your Own Search Service) is different – it's a truly open
    API with as few rules and limitations as possible. With BOSS, developers
    and start-ups now have the technology and infrastructure to build next
    generation search solutions that can compete head-to-head with the
    principals in the search industry. BOSS will grow and evolve with a
    focus on providing additional functionality, tools, and data for
    developers."
         --Yahoo

Cookie order to the Janet Dept. is in.  (Milk-run volunteer sought.)
Agenda to follow...

Mark_your-calendar'y yrs,

Bill

August NHRuby.org meeting canceled.

Nick Plante and I have been up against some intense work schedules 
recently and we've decided to cancel the August NHRuby.org meeting.

We are planning some great material for the September meeting, however.
So enjoy the summer and we'll see you next month!

MerriLUG Nashua, Thur 17 Jul, Open Source Advocacy - Want to Help?

Who  : Mark Boyajian, IT Consultant, Simple Solutions 
What : Open Source Advocacy - Want to Help? 
Where: Martha's Exchange
Day  : Thur 17 Jul **Tomorrow**
Time : 6:00 PM for grub, 7:30 PM for discussion (usually upstairs)

:: Overview

     Open Source software can be an easy path to Linux.  If the Windows 
user is leary about changing operating systems and software at the same 
time, high quality Open Source software can make it a much less 
daunting two step process.

     Mark Boyajian has a campaign to publicize the Open Source option 
and inform people about the many fine programs available.  His approach 
is particularly innovative: use the local public library as a base.

     Mark will explain the very successful Tech Talk series he pioneered 
at the Lawrence Library in Pepperell along with other strategies.

     Want to ease your neighbor, cousin, or boss into Linux?   Use the 
two step Open Source route.  Take them to Perrerell or, better yet, get 
your local public library involved!  Mark will get you started.

BBS: The Documentary - Hampton - Wed July 16/23/30

What : BBS - The Documentary film
Where: HoloDek, Hampton, NH
Dates: Wed July 9, 16, 23, 30
Time : 7:00 PM

  The Ubuntu Local Community Team of NH is presenting "BBS: The
Documentary", as a four-part film series, Wednesdays evenings
throughout July.

  The documentary covers the history of BBSes -- dial-up computer
Bulletin Board Systems -- and the culture and community which formed
around them.  BBSes were entirely individually operated, each with
unique features and character.  The FidoNet network which linked them
together spanned the global and was entirely run by volunteers.
Unlike the Internet, it had no government or university funding to get
it started, yet at its peak it numbered over 40,000 nodes.  Before
Internet access became so ubiquitous in the US, BBSes were often the
only way for private individuals to "network".  Come remember or learn
about these fascinating times.

  "BBS: The Documentary" (http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/) was released
under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share-Alike license, allowing
anyone to copy or present the film.  The NH Ubuntu LoCo will be
showing it at HoloDek, in Hampton.  Unfortunately, this notice goes
out after the first session, but the remaining three are still
upcoming.  There is a $3 cover charge.  Free Ubuntu discs will be
given out.

July  9 - "Baud" - The beginning of the BBS scene
July 16 - "Sysops and Users" - Stories from the people

NHRuby meeting THIS TUES, July 15: The Merb Framework.

Join us at RMC Research in Portsmouth, NH this Tuesday for the July 2008
meeting of the NH Ruby and Rails user group. This month, Jeremy Durham
from The MathWorks will be giving a presentation on the Merb web
development framework (http://merbivore.com).

Merb is written in Ruby and is considered a promising modular,
performance-oriented alternative to Rails. Jeremy will be discussing his
journey converting an existing Ruby on Rails application to Merb, the
challenges of using Merb, and when it may make sense to use it.

WHEN: Tuesday, July 15, 2008. 7-9 PM.
WHERE: RMC Research Offices, 1000 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH.

For a map and driving directions, see our wiki site:
