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.

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 Tomorrow

From: David White 
------------------------------------------------------
I hereby declare myself the President of Chugalug, and hereby issue a
decree that all in favor of attending the next Chugalunch shall commence
meeting at Conga tomorrow at 11:30pm (to try and beat the lunch crowd by a
little bit).

Now that I'm on my own and starting my own business full time, I'm looking
for opportunities to get out of my apartment, meet people, and network.

But mostly to socialize, so I don't become a hermit, until I'm able to drum
up enough clients to get me out of the house anyway.

11:30am until whenever....

OT: Anyone of you guys good with electrical circuits?

From: Lynn Dixon 
------------------------------------------------------
I have a pretty nifty project that I have been thinking about doing, but
its a bit out of my electrical circuit knowledge.

In a nutshell, I would like to mod one of my 5.25" bays on my PC to house
jacks that I can plug my aviation headset into.   There is a pretty good
difference in impedance between aviation headsets and PC audio.  There is
also a challenge in driving the electret mic in the headset using the PC
mic input.

Bonus:  If I can plug this modded panel into my motherboards front panel
audio input, that would be awesome.

If anyone of you guys are good with basic electrcal circuits give me a
shout.  I can spring for dinner / beer if your willing to help.  Hell, I
will even be president for a Chugalug meeting if we can get enough folks
together to discuss this :)

Sorry for the off topic post to the LUG.

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.

Mike

Nancy took the lead on this after a Chugalunch a few weeks ago
and arranged everything.. Knowing her penchant for titles, I propose
that instead of being President of Chugalug for November, she is
Princess of Chugalug for November.

Spread the word, lets have a fun get together with lots of people. :)

Lawyer Volunteering to Chugalug

Orange Grove Center would like your spare computers!

From: Michael Scholten 
------------------------------------------------------
(this is not meant to come across as an ad or anything...)

So I mentioned during the first 4th Floor meeting that Orange Grove Center
recycles computers and other electronics. I had hoped to get back sooner to
everyone about this with more details after being asked about location,
pricing and approved items. Sorry to have taken so long on this...

Essentially our ITC (Industrial Training Center) recycles computers, as
well as other jobs and contracts. I talked with them about what they do and
don't accept and it sounds like pretty much anything computer related
they'll take. Also TVs, radios/stereos, etc... All the items are broken
down, separated and then recycled. All the proceeds then go back to Orange
Grove to support the the individuals we serve who are mentally/physically
handicapped.

The only thing they charge for are CRTs as they cost us money to recycle. I
believe the rate is $10 per CRT. Everything else is free to drop off. They
prefer drop offs be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm. The address
is 615 Derby Street, Chattanooga, TN 37404. The ITC building is on the
corner of Citico ave and Arlington ave with a garage door on Arlington for
drop offs.

-----

Now, for the other reason I wanted to post this. We have 350~ computers we
manage, both at the center and in all of our residential homes, with a very
small budget. The majority of the PCs we use are pulled from what is
dropped off in ITC. Thankfully they don't have to be very robust computers.
We install Linux Mint on all of the desktops. Some days we get a few good
computers that we can get running and replace our older PCs.

Not to sound like a beggar, but if you or your company has computers, or
other electronics, that you are needing recycled then I ask that you
consider Orange Grove. Also, if you have computers that may be older (or
newer!) that still have life left in them and would like to get them out of
the way, I would love to talk with you! The upside of having the recycling
program is that, if the computer is good but has a bad part (pretty much
anything but mother boards) or just needs more memory, we probably have a
part available!


I now return you back to your regularly scheduled CHUGALUG programming...

Chugalunch - Today - Friday - Miller Plaza

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

Chugalunch Meeting  - Friday - Oct 26th - 12-ish.

It's Friday. Fall is falling. It's been a long week already at $work
and the weather today has that "end of summer" crispness and warmth.

Miller Plaza:  Subway, Greek Food (next to Subway), Bleacher Bums,
and several sandwich shops right nearby. Add a mix of Friday's Food Trucks
(Famous Nates BBQ?) Add Wifi, lots of communal seating...

Bring or grab some food nearby, come join the group.

Agenda:  Bring a Linux/Android/osX/etc..  toy for show and tell.
          1-10 minute rants by anyone that feels a need to share or rant.

I'll try to be there at 11:30 and gather some tables/chairs.
If you are a shy newbie I'm wearing a short with a Tux on it,
and am a bald geeky looking guy. We might have a penguin or
two on the table.
