Hello all,<br>
<br>
A reminder that PLUG is meeting again <b>this Tuesday, 13th
September</b>, kindly hosted at the UCC at UWA again (above the
UWA tavern), starting at 7pm; PLUG member <b>Greg Orange</b> will
be presenting about <span class="event-description"><b>hierarchical
storage management (HSM)</b>. Live video stream should also be
available again from just before 7pm on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://icecast.plug.org.au:8000/">http://icecast.plug.org.au:8000/</a> - thanks to those helping on the
AV crew (exact URLs will probably be echoed around when the stream
starts; please also loiter in the PLUG IRC channel to give your
feedback). If you're interested in presenting a 5 minute (or less)
lightning talk on any topic directly after Greg please let me know
- something you've been hacking on, or found out about and want to
share....<br>
<br>
As an early reminder, we have the <b>PLUG in the Pub</b> event on
<b>Monday 26th September</b>, back at <b>The Moon & Six Pence</b>
in the middle of the city. This time we have some visitors; IBM
have asked if they can come and buy a round of drinks and talk to
anyone who may have a project they're working on and would like to
find a company to take it to market. So if you'd like to look into
this, or just enjoy a free drink, come on down! ;)<br>
<br>
Also, there is now just one month to go until <b>Rusty Russell</b>
is here for PLUG. If you haven't purchased (and paid for) your
ticket, it will be full price on the night ($50)! We'll send out
full details of the evening in a week or two. This is being hosted
at the UWA Geography Lecture Theatre 1 at UWA (thanks to Dr Chris
McDonald of UWA CS). We have a hard limit of 100 people in the
venue so make sure you have your ticket (email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tickets@plug.org.au">tickets@plug.org.au</a>
for details; $20 members, $50 non-members, free for Uni CS/IT
students but you still need to reserve a ticket). Thanks to Daniel
H for tracking this.<br>
<br>
We're also starting to plan whom else we should bring to Perth
next year for a talk. We're looking for suggestions of <i>Interesting
People</i> that you'd like to hear/meet/talk to.<br>
<br>
As always, check the PLUG calendar on the PLUG web site (or
subscribe to it in your favourite calendaring software). We've
also got a Summer BBQ coming up in early December, and talks
scheduled for November and December now (and of course, January is
the AGM). If you'd like to help out with the video team please
subscribe to the AV mailing list on <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.plug.org.au/">http://lists.plug.org.au/</a> and
introduce yourself.<br>
<br>
A big thank you to Nick B and Daniel H who added a second CPU to
our host Bath (Icecast server, Mumble server, etc) that Jason N
had picked up off ebay; and swapping the Ethernet port on <i>Shameless</i>
to one that ... works. We have a few people now interested in
looking after Shameless, so hopefully the authentication issues
can be sorted and members can shell in once more (host your web
content, whatever you want - within reason!). Thanks also to Jason
for organising the shirts that are coming in a few weeks; we're
also looking at a cheaper T-Shirt option soon. We're also getting
closer to being able to offer PayPal as an alternative for PLUG
payments (again, thanks to Jason). <br>
<br>
PLUG membership now stands at 72 people (thanks to Peter L who has
been keeping on top of memberships).<br>

And for those of you who remember, tomorrow, September 11, marks
10 years since... I gave a my first PLUG presentation (on Debian).
I know a few people on list were there at the time. I got about
half way through when news of world events interrupted us...<br>
