Pre-meeting:
There will be a one hour pre-meeting item from 18:00 to 19:00 for people who are new to Linux, have general questions, or wish to help out with people who are just getting started.
After Meeting Social:
After the meeting, there will be a social event at one of the nearby pubs or restaurants. A short discussion and vote as to location will be taken then.
GPG Keysigning:
After the main talk there will be the opportunity for a GPG key signing. This is a monthly offering, just look for Scott after the talk and we can go from there. Bring some kind of photo ID and some keyslips if you expect people to sign your key.If you need some method of creating pages of keyslips, there is an online slip generator available.
Ansible - Short Introduction
Speaker: Scott Murphy
This talk will be a short (hopefully between 30 - 45 min) introduction to Ansible which is a configuration management system like puppet, chef, cfengine, bcfg, etc. It does have some major differences as well, making it useful for managing things on a small scale as well as large scale. More details during the talk.
