Events

The LUG/IP Hardware Special Interest Group (SIG) meets on the first Tuesday of every month at 7 PM in the Hamilton (NJ) Public Library.

The SIG focuses on hardware issues relating to using Linux. The meetings are typically less structured than the general LUG/IP meetings, allowing for increased interaction between members.

If you need help getting Linux to run on your hardware, the SIG may just be for you!

Members bring computers and other hardware and help each other out with any difficulties they may be having getting Linux installed and functioning properly.

The SIG also often devotes time to general Linux, Open Source Software and other related discussions.

For more information about the SIG., contact the SIG coordinator, Chris Leyon chrisleyon@lugip.org.

"What's the biggest problem in system administration?"

Date: Thursday March 4 2010
Time: 7:00 PM - 7:20 PM - Social Time
7:20 PM - 7:25 PM - LOPSA-NJ Business and Announcements
7:25 PM - 7:30 PM - LOPSA-NJ Professional IT Community Conference (PICC) News
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM - Main Presentation

This month's meeting will be less technical, more philosophical.

What's the biggest problem facing system administrators? Is it the vendors? The managers? The tools? Is it us? (nah, it couldn't be us! Must be the tools). Scaling? The inconsistant syntax of Perl? It probably isn't any one thing.

Tom will facilitate a group discussion. Hopefully we'll learn something about our technology and ourselves.

P.S. There will be a demonstration of the conference registration website. We need a few volunteers to bring their credit cards to help us in the demonstration. Cash also accepted.

The April meeting is on the 1st of the month, known as April Fools Day. Doing pranks related to computers is so easy we've all done at least a few simple ones. We'll have an open forum for discussing what pranks we've done with our coworkers and friends.
