* Location: Linux in the Wild - Strathcona Park, Ottawa * Date: July 15, 2012, about 2:00pm Present: * Robert Echlin * Aaron Wilcox * Richard Briggs * Ian Gorman * Scott Murphy * Mike Kenzie ====== Agenda ====== (No motion to discuss last months meeting - approval of that meetings minutes postponed) ===== Agenda ===== Agenda approved ===== Shopify move ===== Moved by Robert that OCLUG meet at Shopify offices, 126 York Street. Discussion * Location: 126 York Street, half a block east of Dalhousie, in the Byward Market * People who have been there liked it * Letting people in the door may be an issue, but Shopify is planning to install an entrance call-box to make that easier * Parking should be OK, although the nearest parking is paid parking. Is there free parking after 5pm or 7pm in the area? The motion passed unanimously. ==== Followup ==== Need to tell membership * Big notice on web site * notices on all mail lists we have * Some lists may not be active anymore and might be deleted. We have had the following lists (and reflectors): * Linux * Tech * Board * Board members * Photo SIG * Sysadmin * Events (used by committees organizing events) * Announce * We will repeat notices on our active "Tech" list (maybe for the next several meetings?) * Contact Algonquin - Robert will contact Richard Hagemeyer about our move, and ask about the possibility of creating a student group with involvement from OCLUG members ===== Committee Status Reports ===== ==== Open Source Festival ==== * Name change to "User Group Connect" * Robert and Scott checked this on the web. * Several companies "Connect" with the their "User Groups", so that "User Group Connect" appears on their web site, but they don't seem to use this particular phrase as a trademark. * "Adobe Connect User Groups" * "Social Connections, the IBM Connections User Group" * We decided that our phrase is unique to our group . * The committee has decided to go ahead with Oct 20, and to ask Shopify for use of their space * We expect to have better response from clubs with a firm date and location * We currently have 3 sponsoring groups very interested and 3 groups committed to having a table and staffing it ==== Small group sessions for new Linux users ==== This group has not met yet, but Ian has volunteered to set up a meeting soon. ==== Algonquin Forum ==== No activity at this time. ==== Future meeting presentation topics ==== Several possibilities were discussed: * Xen - Richard and MCR? * Virtual Desktops - MCR? * CA-Cert and PGP Web of Trust - Scott - October
