Calling all Civic Hackers...

June 22 (Meetup / mini-conference) Details & RF (more) P

From: David White 
------------------------------------------------------
Greetings, folks.

Based on the feedback I've received, I'm going to go ahead and set a time
for the "Chugalug And IT Crowd Meetup & Networking" to officially start at
2:00pm on Saturday, June 22.

Proposed breakout sessions include (thus far):

   1. Stephen Haywood: Security or Python Related
   2. Aaron and/or Lynn Dixon: Bitcoin
   3. David White: DNS & BIND
   4. A Lawyer from Fleissner, Davis and Johnson on some sort of legal
   discussion (possibly intellectual property). I have a meeting with him on
   Wednesday. I will let folks know his proposed topic and name once he gives
   me the OK.

There will be a swap meet (trade hardware), workshops presented by IT (and
Legal) Professionals on various topics, and a chance for networking.

Breakout Sessions will each be approximately 30 minutes long including 5
minutes on each side for introductions, networking, and/or moving to the
next event.

We will also have a breakout session to discuss future similar events,
including a possible 2-Day Chattanooga IT Conference in 2014!

If you're interested in presenting a breakout session, please contact me
off-list.

I created a Facebook Event for this, so if you want, please RSVP (and
invite people) here: https://www.facebook.com/events/382728415173937/

Thanks,
David

4th Floor

From: Darren Breidigan 
------------------------------------------------------
I suggest at the next Chugalug meeting that several items be brought up 
for discussion;

1. The 4th floor seems to be in need of funding.

2. Perhaps a 501c3 or kickstarter should be considered for a linux 
advocacy group
     and meetings/headquarters at the 4th floor.

3. Should it be separate from Chugalug?

4. Get more people(kids,teens) interested in programming.

You know what, I've been getting enough email about people wanting to
either teach a class or make a kiosk system that I'm going to take the
plunge and call a meeting!

Way OT: Sushi

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------
> Is there a buffet with sushi/sashimi around that's actually consistently good?

The lunch buffet at Toto on the N. Shore has been impressive. Nancy and I 
have gone.. and it's well worth the price.. I think tax, tip and all lunch 
cost us about $35 ?

You don't want cheap sushi..

The sushi at the Chinese Garden by Wal Mart (Signal Mtn) was actually 
really good.. but didn't have any fish in what I had, which makes it cheap 
and safer for a place like that.

---------------------------------

On topic: Had a conversation with Terry Parker of Chattanooga College 
(Thanks to Daniel Appleget) in which he mentioned he may soon have a great 
meeting/presentation place available near Eastgate..

Chugalunch: Sofa King Juice Burger ?!?

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------

http://sofakingjuicyburger.com/

I saw this was open for lunch when I drove by a few days ago....

Am heading there for lunch today. Open Invite. Chugalunch. Whatever.

I'll head there about 11:30-ish.

They hooked me at "Beer battered onion rings"

Good Chugalunch at Community Pie

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------

You're invited to Meeting: PHP and MySQL

From: Mike Harrison 
------------------------------------------------------

Technically, this is a PHP dev meeting, but like all things,
there is an overlap to Chugalug.

If you join and RSVP via Meetup.com at:
http://www.meetup.com/chattanoogaphp/
it'll help us know how much pizza to get.


Meeting: PHP and MySQL

   Chattanooga PHP Developers
   Wednesday, February 6, 2013
   6:00 PM
   Utiliflex
   701 Broad Street, Suite 201 Chattanooga, TN 37402

Agenda:
Lets set the defib to 400 kjoules and see if we can bring this group back to life.

Draw:
Mike Harrison, arrogant geek bastard will build a functional PHP and MySQL/MariaDB
general purpose web framework in 30 minutes, addressing common 
requirements.. of generic web applications using nothing but a text editor and some 
SIMPLE cut and paste samples. It's an "understand the basics" of PHP and 
SQL focus. Mike expects to make mistakes in public, get berated by the 
audience and generally have some fun in order to seed discussions and 
determine if this is an actual group and how/where it goes.

No frameworks, MVC's or live animals will be injured in this presentation.

It's cold and nasty, some warm pizza will be delivered and there is a drink machine
on the 1st floor and coffee on the 2nd.

Announcing Drupal Camp Chattanooga 2013

From: Lee Walker 
------------------------------------------------------
I'm running a local Drupal (www.drupal.org) Conference this year in
Chattanooga. www.drupalcampchattanooga.com

Date:
27th April 2013.
Location:
Business Development Center
100 Cherokee Blvd
Chattanooga TN,
37405

Drupal is an open source content management framework for building
websites.

Some example Drupal sites:
www.whitehouse.gov
www.mtv.co.uk
www.fastcompany.com
www.economist.com
www.law.stanford.edu
www.circle10.org
www.911memorial.org

There will be several tracks, Beginner, Advanced, Theming and Business.

I'm also hoping to run a free "Drupal In A Day" Training along side the
regular camp for guys new to Drupal who want to learn more.
Go from knowing nothing to building Drupal sites in a single day.
It'll be free (Drupal Camp Ticket still needed though) if I can get enough
sponsors to cover that event, else we may have to charge on a per ticket
basis - we are still working that part out.

So anyone who is into web development / web app development will find this
useful.
Anyone who is looking at Drupal as a Content Management Framework / Web App
Framework and wants to know more will also find it very useful.

Tickets will be $25 which includes lunch and a T-Shirt.

I am expecting about 100 Drupalistas, but since we are so close to Atlanta
we get more. (Drupal Camp Atlanta has about 400 attendees.)

Sign up for more details on our temporary site www.drupalcampchattanooga.com
There will be a new site up soon for people to submit session proposals or
sponsor the camp.

Offers of sponsorship are welcome, as is any offers for help organizing the
camp.

Drupal Camps are all community organized and run.

I'd be happy to answer any questions. Fire away.

i.t. budget should only be 5% to 10% of entire company budget????

From: Ed King 
------------------------------------------------------
maybe I can borrow Dan's angle grinder and use it to grind another of my axes

does ANYONE on this list work for a company that has an i.t. budget 10% or 
less?   


I was tempted to call for a Chugalunch and see if anyone could convince me that 
any company, even one that isn't a technology company, has an i.t. budget of 
less than 10%, but I checked my budget and I couldn't afford to go to lunch
