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.
Sector67: Technology for Nonprofits & Community
Technology for Nonprofits & Communities is Madison Nonprofit Day's first effort to present a full schedule of technology and technology related topics that are accessible to and enhance both the nonprofits and the community.
The workshops hopefully appeal to a wide range of individuals from nonprofit staff and volunteers to social entrepreneurs, accidental techies, students, and the community. Madison Nonprofit Day joined with Sector67 to create a community friendly, technology education day. The workshops are all ages, so bring your children and teens along.

Surviving the IPocalypse: IPv6, Linux, and You
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
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.

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.
