From today's mailbag:
Hi, I'm a member of the Columbia Linux User Group and I'd like to personally invite you to POSSCON 2012.
The Palmetto Open Source Software Conference, now in its fifth year, is one of the largest open source conferences in the Southeast and will be held March 28-29 in nearby Columbia, South Carolina.
The event will be headlined by Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems and one of the most influential and frequently quoted people in the history of IT. Other world-class speakers include Shawn Hartsock, Groovy/Grails developer; Larry Augustin; CEO, SugarCRM; Dr. Douglas Maughan, Director, Department of Homeland Security, Cyber Security Division; Jim Jagielski, Co-Founder and President, Apache Software Foundation; Chris Aniszcyck, Open Source Manager, Twitter, Inc.; and many others.
POSSCON brings together developers and business leaders together in a fun, professional environment to discuss and learn about the latest open source technologies and how to use them in your organization. Bringing the best of open source concepts to the business world is what makes this conference unique. In addition, the conference always has good turnout from the government and healthcare sectors, many of whom are still learning all that open source has to offer.
Please let me know if you have questions and we look forward to seeing you in March!

Atlanta JavaScript Meetup |
|
Saturday, 07 March 2009 02:56 |
|
I guess I'd never really thought about it. Would you consider JavaScript to be Open Source? Well, Firefox supports it and Firefox is Open Source. Most of the Javascript libraries out there (JQuery, Moo, Prototype, etc) are open source. Even the EXT JS library has a GPL v3 version. So I guess I'll have to say that it's open. Anyway, there's a new JavaScript meetup forming. At the moment they haven't decided on a place to meet, and their charter is a bit thin: Meet other local JavaScripters to share knowledge, to review the state of the art, or to dream up new applications. But follow along, sign up and be there! See: The Atlanta JavaScript Meetup Page. |

AUUG Honors Lindsay Cleveland |
|

 The long-time orgainzer of the Atlanta Unix Users' Group, Lindsay Cleveland was given a standing ovation of appreciation at the August 1, 2011 meeting. Lindsay has taken early retirement from Cisco as of last month. He and his wife are looking at moving to east Texas in the near future. Since the 1st Monday of the month falls on Labor Day in September, this was the last meeting that Lindsay was guaranteed to be attending. AUUG's first meeting was in March of 1985 and Lindsay's done a yoeman's job of keeping it running ever since.
When Lindsay's move to Texas is complete, he'll receive a plaque that reads:
Presented In Appreciation to
Lindsay Cleveland
August 1st, 2011
In recognition of three decades of generous support, patient mentoring
and tireless work to promote technical excellence and
professional development
and in small token to convey our deepest thanks and warmest regards
from the past and present members of the Atlanta Unix Users' Group
and Unix System Administrators in the Atlanta Area.
