Hi Brandon -

We just added a class to our schedule.  I know this is "last minute" but we
want to offer the class to members of the group as a PSNUG special.

The class is Novell course 3071, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
Fundamentals.  It is a 3-day class for students who have little or no
experience with Linux.  The link below takes you to the full description of
the course.

http://www.novell.com/training/courseware/ts_proj_info.jsp?pid=19822

The class is next week, Wednesday-Friday, October 15-17.  We want to offer
the class for $475 for PSNUG members.
We want to emphasize that this class is the fundamentals class.  Only the
topics described in the link above will be covered.

I need to order the student kits by Wednesday, October 7.  This is only 2
days notice, but we hope the timing is good for someone.

Will you please pass this on?

Thank you - Renee

Subject: [PSNUG.org News] Got receipts?
Message-ID: <948F5C84-5569-48E4-8DA4-986CC147FC78@comcast.net>

As you probably know I listen (and watch) a lot of podcasts. One of my  
favorites is geekbrief, found at geekbrief.tv or iTunes store. The  
host, Cali Lewis (yeah, stage name) is more than just another pretty  
face and provides serious tech-toys information. Brief 439 featured a  
neat feedthrough scanner called appropriately enough neat receipts.  
The price is kind of high for a scanner ($179 list) but is compelling  
nonetheless. It's dominant feature is receipt recognition and import -  
into spreadsheets, quicken, turbotax and more. If, like me you end up  
with a weekly pile of receipts to enter this just may save some time  
and certainly aggravation. I may be able to (finally) get my wife to  
enter her own receipts!

It's not just a one-trick pony, having the ability to scan generalized  
documents and pictures but the integration makes a compelling argument  
for inclusion in my tech budget.

See you in 3 weeks!

A Webinar on hosted messaging and collaborationSponsored by Google
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

--Webinar will be held on Thursday, October 9th

Dear Brandon,

If you're thinking about upgrading your messaging and 
collaboration tools, come listen to Michael Osterman 
of Osterman Research on Thursday, October 9 at 
10:00am PDT, 1:00pm EDT, 1800 UK Time.  He will 
talk about factors to consider in moving to hosted 
solutions and how to best prepare for a smooth 
transition.

Many companies have made the switch to Software-
as-a-Service, but the decision can seem daunting.  
You might ask, what control am I giving up?  Will it be 
less flexible?  What about security?  Do the savings 
outweigh the effort of making a transition?  And, of 
course, how will my end users adjust to a new way of 
doing things?


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Webinar will be held on Thursday, October 9th
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will focus on the business problems that SaaS 
messaging and collaboration tools address, the 
factors to consider in moving to a hosted solution, 
what you might lose and what you might gain in 
switching to a SaaS model, what selection criteria you 
should apply in evaluating SaaS vendors, and what 
Google Apps has to offer.

What a conference this has developed into - any members have a
personal report??

I see GOSCON has gotten international in scope - including the World Bank

- A Web-GIS Building Permit Tracker Built with Open Technology Using a
Participatory Approach
- Applying Open Source Methodologies to Build Public Health Software
Collaboratively
- Case Study: Open Source in the Data Center
- Building a Culture of Innovation and Productivity through Collaboration
- ...Many other topics have a look - http://goscon.org/sessions

and read things like: ... talk will describe the principles underlying
Microsoft's open source business, technical, and community
participation strategy, summarize key milestones to date, and share a
vision for the relationship between Microsoft and open source
communities and technologies in the future.

First, let us see if you want this. Check out and read some of:
http://lwn.net/Articles/KernelSummit2008/
Well, that worked for me as I was at the LPC that week.

Perhaps just looking around  http://lwn.net ?

At the next meeting, Steve Singhose will give you - if you ask nicely
(he claims food always works for him) a  'LWN.net gift certificate
promotional code'. With this code, you can sign up for 3 months FREE
access - read the 'LWN.net FAQ' to learn all.

Yes, people actually at the next meeting get the first opportunity to
sign up for LWN.net for FREE for 3 months.

Subject: [PSNUG.org News] LPC vs OSCON
Message-ID: <609b18560810280950t2afe3d35jee5e770b51c1382@mail.gmail.com>

LPC was great - find review of most everything  at  LWN.net

A big part of making it great was the kernel.org -by invitation only- group
met the first part of the week and Linux Plumbers Conference met the latter
part of the week. Sadly, this may never happen again, or at least not until
kernel mets back in the USA.

This was apparently the first time hardware driver people had gotten
together - and anyone could go, they just needed to pay. A gal from Intel
organized - she didn't realize how much work it would be, even riding on the
coat tails of the kernel.org - Linux Foundation people.

IF you write drivers and want to meet the maintainers of your particular
driver set - then I would think a must go. People came from all over the
world. Fellow from France, works for Air Bus, they won't send him, he left
his family at home and came on his own expense. That seemed amazing to me -
and there were a lot of other amazing people there. Another fellow from TI -
to show driver writers what are the new hardware trends for video hardware -
now Texas Instruments I paid him to come, he was from India. And everything
in between.

Ubuntu and RedHat were both looking for kernel developers to hire. And I was
pleasantly surprised to see the Ubuntu guys stay after getting exposed for
their lack of contributions - we shall see if this shames :Ubuntu into
really joining the community and helping out - at least as much as the
Debian people - check Linux Foundation for kernel report and see who the
contributors really are - individuals still do the most work.

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/publications/linuxkerneldevelopment.php

The above URL you'll also find the top 30 companies/organizations who
sponsor kernel work.

OK, I have rambled enough - if you remember, ask me about LPC the next time
we meet up. Right now I'm in Daytona Beach, FL looking after my very ill
mother, so not sure exactly what date I'll be back.

PS - I'd keep an eye on the Linux Foundation events - and I would consider
GOSCON as it happens in this region - too bad OSCON has moved to San Jose.
You'll find some links to these and other events at below web-site.

any corrections, suggestions, or even help to maintain or add content
welcome
ANYONE, Please, feel free to visit any PSNUG meeting as my personal guest -
even if I'm not in town, just tell them you are my guest, nice guys, free
food - you'll find the details if you look.

variety of potential breakdowns including configuration errors, loss of
network access, database corruption, SAN (Storage Area Network) failures,
and viruses. Data from the survey shows that in any given 12-month time
period, there is a 72% likelihood of an unplanned email outage and a 24%
likelihood of a planned email outage for any given company.

Email has become the most pervasive channel for business communication yet
despite large enterprise investments in replication, mirroring, and tape
backup systems, email systems continue to fail. While natural and man-made
disasters can lead to email outages, new data shows that email systems are
more frequently brought down by technological failures and human error.

Linux than with proprietary software such as Windows or Apple. Now is the
time to make the move to Linux. We welcome you to join us.

How time flies.  End of the year already.

Tonight will be the final PSNUG meeting of 2008.  18:00 at Kaleidoscope Consulting.  Come and hear what the good folks a GWAVA have going on.

This would also be a good time to just block out the last Wednesday of the month on your 2009 calenders.  I've already got a couple of interesting presenters signed up for next year.  The include Xiotech, Novell and SkyPro.

See you all tonight.

Message-ID: <19E75071-BCD3-462F-82C2-6A3C56EE21AD@comcast.net>

You may (but probably not) recall my mentioning Geekbrief TV (http://www.geekbrief.tv 
) as a great resource for tech news. The presenter (stage name Cali  
Lewis) is young, pretty and spunky - but makes up for it by being  
smart and well informed. Brief 480 included a blurb on a NAS adapter  
dongle from Addonics ( http://www.addonics.com/products/nas/ 
nasu2.asp  ). A micro sized adapter, barely larger than the USB port  
on one end and RJ45/power plug on the other, it turns any USB storage  
device into network attached storage accessible through SMB/SAMBA or  
ftp. At $55 it's worth a look.

Co-presented by O'Reilly Media and Sun Microsystems, MySQL Conference &
Expo 2009 is coming to Santa Clara, CA, April 20-23. Join us as we focus
on MySQL's wide-ranging--and growing--appeal and capabilities in an open
forum for IT professionals and MySQL community members. It's the ideal
opportunity to explore and create the best database applications, tools,
and software through expert instruction, hands-on tutorials, accessible
MySQL developers, and guru-level business advice.

With an over-arching theme of "Innovation Everywhere," the conference
promises to be the largest gathering of MySQL developers, users, and DBAs
worldwide. All over the globe, people like you are innovating with MySQL.
This conference gathers all this innovation, all these innovators, into
one place for four days. As Mark Burton, VP Global MySQL Practice, Sun
Microsystems, said last year, "The MySQL Conference brings together the
creators of some of the industry's most massively scaling modern online
applications."

MySQL Workbench enables a DBA, developer, or data architect to visually
design, generate, and manage all types of databases including Web, OLTP,
and data warehouse databases. It includes everything a data modeler needs
for creating complex ER models, and also delivers key features for

Beginner's Guide to Website Performance with MySQL and Memcached
Memcached is a distributed memory object caching system that is getting a
lot of press at the moment for its ability to provide a high-performance
front-end for database applications. Sure, memcached can do wonders, but
where is it most effective and what are the pain points?
