Netroots Wisconsin 2010
Netroots Wisconsin will be a regional conference of Netroots Nation on Sept. 25 in Madison, WI. It will be a place for the Netroots folks in Wisconsin to meet each other, discuss issues, and celebrate the Cheddarsphere. We also hope to invite progressive politicians from the state, and have discussion on the future of journalism in Wisconsin, local blogging, and how to be more effective bloggers/citizen journalists.
More importantly, Netroots Wisconsin will be whatever the attendees want it to be. So put up your suggestions on this site.
Registration is now open. Conference details, session proposals, and more are now available at our web site - http://netrootswisconsin.org
For more information contact Steve Hanson at shanson@netrootswisconsin.org.
Top 10 Ways to Use Social Media
Instead of the usual rhetoric and theory about the benefits of using social media, hear real-world, practical ways to put social media to work for your non-profit. We’ll skip the jargon and million-dollar corporate case studies to show ways in which non-profits can quickly and easily use social media tools to spread the word, raise funds, recruit members and achieve change.
This Madison Nonprofit Day Technology Workshop presented by Tony Arnett, eMarketing Manager, CUNA Mutual Group at 10:00 AM at Goodman Community Center (Length: 1hr).

Postgres talk from Josh Berkus
"Josh Berkus has been a member of the PostgreSQL Core Team since 2002. He is CEO of PostgreSQL Experts Inc., a PostgreSQL professional services company. Prior to working on PostgreSQL, he worked with a variety of other software, including OpenOffice.org, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle PL/SQL, and (shudder) COM+. He also does Perl." - http://it.toolbox.com/people/josh_berkus/
I apologize for the short notice, but Josh graciously offered to do a talk while he's in town on business.
Josh suggested a "PostgreSQL talk, or just Q&A." I don't have any more details than that since we've been working on getting a venue and such, so it'll probably be pretty laid back. Some people might even go out for food or drinks afterwards. You never can tell about kids these days.
Please distribute this information as widely as possible. We'd like a good turnout and that might be difficult with short promotional time.

Zero to 60 Server
Got a beige box setting around? Not sure what all those letters in LAMP mean? Just enticed by sexy car metaphors?
No matter your ill in getting a server set up, come grab some of Eric's magic server elixir. Think of it as a server installfest on steroids. (note: MadLUG does not do random drug testing)
SOME DIFFERENCES: Two things will be different in this meeting than others.
1) It will be hands on. Bring a box...maybe a VirtualBox (TM Oracle - by the way, give us money, please!) Also, please bring media. We'll have some install disks but unless you want whatever we randomly give you, best to have your own.

Madison's September Ubuntu Hour
Please note that there was a time change starting in August. Ubuntu Hours will no longer be on Sundays, but rather on Saturdays.
Setting in OpenOffice.org messed up? Scared you're going to mess up your partitions?Heard you could get a free operating system, but not sure where to start?
You've come to the right place!
Ubuntu Hours are a time when new users can come and ask questions without being afraid they will be made to feel stupid by experienced users. It's also a time when you won't feel crowded out by other discussions. It may not always be 1-on-1 support, but it will be close and might even be a better ratio!
--------------------------------------------------------
As for Ubuntu Hour instructors, in the words of Ubuntu Loco leader Anthony Hook:
