Madison Linux User Group (MadLUG)
MadLUG is the Madison area Linux Users Group. Our users come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are academics and
students; others are system administrators, web designers and other IT
professionals; and others simply enjoy computers.
We hold social meetings the third Saturday of each month to discuss Linux and related topics with a rotating location (see mailing list for details).
We also put together demonstrations and presentations related to the installation and running of Linux in addition to more advanced topics, such as networking, programming, and databases the first Saturday of every month (we do not yet have a set location for these. If you'd like to provide one, let me know!).
We also actively hang out at the monthly Web608 Geek Dinners.

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.
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:

It's not the easiest room to find, so please follow the signs. THE ELEVATOR DOES NOT GO TO THIS AREA OF THE BUILDING. DON'T TRY IT!
