Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You

December 6, 2010 - 6:06pm | by douglasawh
Everyone who has a presence on the web is going to be forced to more about IPv6 in the coming years. Get ahead of the curve! Quick, grab your smartphone, e-reader, computer and family (in that order), pack some supplies, and head for the hills! (except in Kansas, which is too flat.) The Internet as we currently know it is coming to an end! We're running out of host addresses! In a matter of months, not decades they will all be used up. Are you prepared for the single biggest network event since broadband? Say goodbye to your old friends like 209.85.225.99 and hello to 2001:4860:b007::6a (google.com). The existing IP version 4 numbering system with 32-bit addresses is nearly exhausted. In 2013, the last one will be gone. History! But, there is hope of rescue. It's not the cavalry, it's the Internet protocol version 6, with new-fangled 128-bit addresses, and it will impact every networked digital device, router and service you use. What does this all mean?

SPECIAL GUEST! Introduction to OpenSUSE by author Mike McCallister

October 18, 2010 - 7:50pm | by douglasawh
You'll close your Windows, put your Snow Leopard to sleep, and maybe even (gasp!) unload Ubuntu when you see the beauty of openSUSE Linux!

MadLUG is pleased to have guest speaker Mike McCallister (author of openSUSE Linux Unleashed, WordPress In Depth, etc.) present a demonstration of openSUSE Linux. You will get a broad overview of openSUSE while exploring the visuals, package management and included software of this great Linux distro. In addition to the software, Mike will discuss the openSUSE community and overall strategy.

Bonus! You will also get a detailed demo of KDE 4.5 by an expert who can make it perform minor miracles. If you are a GNOME user, you'll quickly understand why KDE has been getting a lot of attention lately. Existing KDE users can pickup some advanced tips and tricks.

CapJug July Meeting

July 8, 2009 - 6:07pm | by abraham
"You have probably been hearing the terms “Sprints”, “Backlog”, “Chickens & Pigs” for the last year or so and wondering what all this has to do with software development.

Scrum is an agile development methodology to iteratively and incrementally develop software systems and products (especially when requirements are rapidly changing). We will explore the Scrum process framework focusing on the 3 Roles, 3 Artifacts and 3 Ceremonies of Scrum. We will also touch upon Agile principles on which Scrum and other iterative methodologies are based on."

"Pattabi Doraiswamy will be giving us an introduction to SCRUM!  You can find
