PENINSULA LINUX USERS' GROUP
of the San Francisco Bay Area

The Peninsula Linux Users' Group (PenLUG) is a Linux group for the San Mateo County and surrounding areas, based in the Redwood Shores / Belmont area. If you are interested in participating, please subscribe to our members mailing list. Or if you just want to hear what's going on, join our announce list. Our members have also contributed some LinuxHints; you're welcome to add your own.

For more information about the group, or to find out about speaking at one of our meetings, contact info@penlug.org. Thank you!


Sponsors

Our meeting sponsor and host for meetings is Qualys. Our meetings have been held at Bayshore Technology Park, where their offices are located, since April 2007. Qualys will also be providing food (FREE PIZZA) and beverages for our meetings. Thanks, Qualys!!!

We need help finding and scheduling speakers! If you want to help, see our HowToScheduleSpeakers page.


PenLUG Meeting Schedule:

PenLUG meets on the fourth Thursday of each month, except during the months of November and December, when we meet on the second Thursday due to the holidays. Meetings begin at 6pm and continue until approximately 8pm.

We meet at the Qualys offices in Redwood Shores, CA; see Qualys Driving Directions (included below) or Qualys Transit Directions for details.

Next Meeting

Date: Thursday, January 28, 2010
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 PM
Location: Bayshore Technology Park
1300 Island Drive
Redwood City, CA 94065
Suite 108 - Boardroom I
RSVP: Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=266272383185  or mail rsvp@penlug.org

NOTE We will be meeting in the Boardroom rather than the usual training room. It's in the same building, down the hall. We will have signs inside the building so you will be able to find us easily. Capacity is limited to about 20 people, so RSVP is very important! We will meet in the Boardroom for January and February, returning to the Training Room from March 2010 onward.

Qualys is no longer hosting the event, however NewlineNoosh, another company in the same office complex, is taking over the hosting. We no longer have a sponsor providing free pizza and beverages, however, so until/unless we get a new sponsor for that we are moving to a potluck model.

Agenda:

  • 6:00 PM Potluck snacks
  • 6:15 PM Free book giveaways or other prizes
  • 6:30 PM Presentation begins
  • 8:00 PM Meeting ends

Fedora 12

Available since November, Fedora 12 has a long list of enhancements that includes, for starters, Bluetooth on demand, a wide variety of virtualization and security improvements, improved webcam support, improved audio and video codecs (including Ogg Theora), and better power management. The presentation introducing Fedora 12 will outline these and many other improvements in the latest Fedora release.

Larry Cafiero

Larry Cafiero is the regional ambassador for the U.S. West Coast states for the Fedora Project. A newspaper editor by profession, he also is a partner in Redwood Digital Research in Felton, California, and is one of the founding organizers of the Lindependence Project.
