Technical Meeting: Thursday September 12th
Chris Henderson on oVirt.
oVirt, the first truly open and comprehensive data center virtualization management initiative, provides a venue for user and developer cooperation. The heart of the project is the open source code of oVirt, and the community is governed openly, modeled after the Apache Foundation, Eclipse, LVM, and many other well functioning Linux communities.
oVirt manages virtual machines, storage and virtualized networks. oVirt is a virtualization platform with an easy-to-use web interface. oVirt is powered by the Open Source you know - KVM on Linux.
This presentation will demonstrate setting up an oVirt environment and give you a taste of some of the features available.

-Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary

-Rock climbing at Prairie Walls before they take down the sign we constructed for the Red Bull Creation contest.
-Liquid nitrogen ice cream. This needs a non-Tina organizer. Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes. We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves.
-MAME/foosball/ping pong at Tim Massaro's.
-Parallax build contest ~Christmas
Upcoming Meeting Crisis!
Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2013. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
