Web414
The Web414 group consists of amateurs and professionals interested in building and improving the web today and in the future. We are a diverse group including designers, programmers, publishers, and entrepreneurs - all with a common interest in creating the new web.
We typically meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7PM at Bucketworks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (Meetings are free, as is membership to Web414, but we do ask people to help contribute to Bucketworks, or join as a member to help them provide a space for us.)
The members of Web414 are actively involved in a number of initiatives in the Milwaukee area such as co-working, BarCamps, and MilwaukeeDevHouse.
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.

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!

VirtualBox – A Comprehensive Overview
VirtualBox is the exciting virtualization technology which lets you run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one computer. It's simple to use and allows you to avoid the hassles of partitioning and dual booting, or the quirks of compatibility layers like Wine. Now you can run a variety of operating systems (Linux, Windows, etc.) within you current Linux OS and seamlessly flip between them.
Brad Stone will give you a complete overview of VirtualBox and expose you to some of the advanced features.

Dinner and a Movie...and Linux!
Monthly MadLUG Social Meeting!
There's no planned movie and the event really has more to do with hanging out and eating than Linux. There will, of course, be plenty of people there to casually discuss technical topics. If you're a geek, you'll feel just at home as you do at the Web608 Geek Dinners. However, if you want to grab some friends to watch a movie and just hang out with MadLUGers for a bit beforehand, that will certainly work!
We'll be hanging out in the lounge/lobby where the food is casual and the sofas as comfy.
