Fwd: [Lugmaster] Senior Linux role
by MJ Ray 01 Sep '02

01 Sep '02

From: "Mark Lewis" <mark(a)lug.org.uk> Subject: [Lugmaster] Senior Linux role Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 08:29:02 +0100 Gentlemen, I would not normally post 'jobs' to the list, however this chappie has the courtesy to telephone me and ask how best to approach our members. It appears it's a pretty decent Server Admin job in New York, responsible for running some 100+ Redhat boxes for a bank. Jason tells me it's a high calibre job with high a salary ticket, so thought someone may be interested? Perhaps if you are also happy, you may like to forward to your lists?

Fwd: [Announcement] GLLUG - The Greater London Linux User Group (UK) - Meeting - 14th September
by MJ Ray 22 Aug '02

22 Aug '02

Potentially of interest to those in the south of the region. From: Colin Murphy <SpudULike(a)-blueyonder.co.uk> Subject: [Announcement] GLLUG - The Greater London Linux User Group (UK) - Meeting - 14th September Date: 12 Aug 2002 23:10:58 GMT That is right, your eyes do not deceive you, The Greater London Linux User Group is, at long last, going to have another meeting. The date for your diaries is Saturday 14th September 2002, 12noon until 5pm. Doubtless to say, there will also be a session in some pub afterwards, should you not be able to make it during the day. We will be meeting in the New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster University, this is in the shadow of the BT Tower, nearest tube stations are Great Portland Street and Goodge Street. You will find a map at [ http://www.wmin.ac.uk/static/maps.asp ] For this meeting, and all the future meetings, we have the use of the Universities 'large' lecture theatre, the network lab and the Multimedia lab. The large lecture theatre - Hopefully you will appreciate the use of this larger lecture theatre. For those that went last time, your comments and criticisms were justified about the smaller theatre being too small. We are still finalising the details of the talks, so these will be posted to the web site soon, <http://gllug.linux.co.uk>. The network lab - We will use the network lab, this month, for rolling demo installations. The multimedia room - This will be used as a chat area, away from the lectures. There are monitors, desks and power, so people are welcome to set up their own equipment here if they want. Hopefully we will have some BoaF groups form here. ******************************************** The GLLUG website, you remember - it's at http://gllug.linux.co.uk, has had a revamp. Do make sure you have a look, pass on your comments. ******************************************** The meeting after the next meet is booked for the 19th October 2002 -- Colin Murphy -SpudULike(a)blueyonder.co.uk

Bletchley Park trip - 18th August?
by MJ Ray 12 Aug '02

12 Aug '02

------- Forwarded Message Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 00:35:38 +0100 From: Alasdair G Kergon <agk(a)oxlug.org> Subject: [lugmaster] FW: Bletchley Park trip - 18th August? See forwarded message below - people from other LUGs are welcome too, not just Greater London, so please circulate this! Contact Richard directly to arrange times to meet etc. Bletchley Park, including the computer museum, is well worth a visit. (Indeed you need more than one visit to take everything in.) Photos I took last time I went: http://sparky.ox.compsoc.net/~agk/Photos/Compsoc/Bletchley_Park/ [If travelling by train, be aware of the replacement buses at weekends. You want Bletchley station, a few miles South of Milton Keynes. If coming through London, you might find a combination of a travelcard with a Silverlink-only ticket from "Boundary Zone 6" to Bletchley works out cheaper than a through ticket.] Alasdair - ----- Forwarded message from Richard Cohen <richard(a)vmlinuz.org> ----- Date: Fri, 9 Aug 2002 10:01:19 +0100 (BST) From: Richard Cohen <richard(a)vmlinuz.org> Subject: [Gllug] Bletchley Park trip - 18th August? To: gllug(a)linux.co.uk Yes, I know it's short notice... For a couple of years, there have been discussions of a possible GLLUG picnic at Bletchley Park, a genuine geek pilgrimage site - all credit to John Hearnes, who's proposed and pushed the idea in the past... I'm proposing that if you're not doing anything else next Sunday (the 18th), we get together there for the GLLUG picnic '02. Why that date? Three reasons come to mind: They're having an Airbourne Forces weekend that weekend, which means paratrooper and commando displays, and a WWII overflight on the Sunday; It's the same weekend as the Picn*x11 Linux picnic (www.linuxpicnic.org) in California - if we decide on that date quickly, we should be able to get some publicity out of that; No time like the present - the weather is pretty variable at the moment, so thats no help in picking a date, and I know people will be on holiday, but at least if we pick a date, it might actually *happen* this year! Apparently there might be engineering works which would affect the trains, but barring that, I propose those who want to take the train meet at Euston at maybe 11ish on the Sunday, and those who want to go under their own steam aim to meet us there at around 12? I've called and provisionally booked us in - I can call and cancel if no-one else can make it, or if it's a silly idea, or I can call and confirm if there's going to be 10-15 people or more there. I'd want to know by, say, Tuesday next week... We can discuss it on-list, or on my Wiki (@wiki.vmlinuz.org) - if you're a confirmed yes, add your name to the BletchleyParkInterestList there. For what it's worth, I'd say families are welcome - trying to make it *slightly* less geeky :-) For anyone who doesn't know about Bletchley Park (shame on you!) there's oodles of info at www.bletchleypark.org.uk - yes, it's a pretty crappy-looking site, but remember to hold your complaining off until we get there... There would be an entrace fee of £6 (£5 concessions) and they don't do group prices :-( Let's make it happen this year! :-) Cheers Richard - -- Gllug mailing list - Gllug(a)linux.co.uk http://list.ftech.net/mailman/listinfo/gllug - ----- End forwarded message ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------- The UK Lugmaster Mailing List http://www.lug.org.uk/lugmasters/lugmaster.php - ---------------------------------------------------------------- ------- End of Forwarded Message
