From BLUG

Hey

This is just a quick write up of the LUG meet tonight of topics etc.
I'll post it on the wiki asap, and on the List when it returns.

   ** : Mailing list is broken. Major fail from Google  ;) . And us
g33ks for loving CLI too much haha. So what has happened as @noodles
told us, is that our mailing list has been flagged as spam. Only
because there is actualy a web-front end to our google-group that we
don't use and it has been spammed a lot.

    ** : Key-signing, @Colin @noodles @me(redbrain) @steve etc
discuessed about noodles blog post:
http://www.earth.li/~noodles/blog/2009/05/breaking-the-web-of-trust.html
About the gpg in debian packages and tracing the web of trust. And
maby starting a key-signing party at some-stage  :) 

   ** : Ubuntu+Canonical from @Lee Braiden's blog post:
http://irukado.org/archives/2009/05/shuttleworth-nails-his-colors-to-the-mast/
. What is canonicals views on open-source free-software etc..
ubuntu-one  :) 

   ** : @Me(redbrain) @noodles going to Lug radio live 2009:
http://www.lugradio.org/live/2009/
I am going to price up some flights etc and post it around whats the
best mode of travel. Hope to persuade some more of you guys to come  :) 

   ** : @steve Google app-engine how good is it: languages java,
jruby, python

   ** : @jeff python in general he likes it for SAGE
http://www.sagemath.org/ to generate awesome graphs gnuplot/octave is
the old-school way is another alternative but SAGE is more modern  :) 

   ** : Clements is nice! If the tap house is busy we may move to
clements across the round for around 9pm or so for some coffee after,
but its only really if the tap house is playing foot-ball which we
can't seem to understand  ;) 

   ** : Virtulisation @me @noodles likes KVM pointing it to /dev/sd*
your windows partition to use windows while your using a real OS
debian to do your office paper-work'y portal type stuff, without
having to reboot. @me i am
starting to put together a .odp on a presentation i would like to do,
and i remember last month some of you may be intereasted in doing a
barcamp presentation if i do it too  :)  so it could be a possibility
for us to consolidate and maby have a couple of practice runs closer
to the time  :) 

   ** : @everyone there WILL be LUG meets over summer!

   ** : finally we all agree the Star Trek movie is awesome  :) 

Hope you guys enjoyed the evening it was good craic  :) . Remember
irc.oftc.net #blug nice irc channel. regards the mailing list it shall
be online soon, even if google don't get something going within 1/2
