It's that time again - when the temperature rises and the test kernels
are almost baked! Yes, folks it's time for the semi-annual,
semi-irregular LUG BBQ!
In the past members from several LUGs in the SF Valley and surrounds
have gotten together a couple of times a year to burn burgers, build
wireless antennae, and share software horror stories. If you're
interested, pictures of past BBQ's are at
http://www.sclug.org//pictures.cgi
In the interests of LUG harmony, we're extending the invitation for this
BBQ to all LUG'ers, BSD'ers, and OpenSourcers within reasonable driving
distance. Heck, even if it's an unreasonable driving distance, feel
free to join us!
Date:
August 23rd
Time: start at 5:30 p.m., till ??
Location: Simi Valley. (info is at http://www.sclug.org/bbq/)

TOORCON 2003 LINEUP FINALIZED
We are proud to announce the finalized lineup for ToorCon this year.
With a total of 29 talks on 2 tracks spanning 2 days, we have a
really compelling lineup this year. This year we are going Back to
Basics and introducing a Policy and Procedure track along side the
standard Attack and Defense topics. This bridges the gap between the
underground attack and defense technologies that are being developed
and the business policies and laws that are in place to ensure your
safety and security. This year will also have a special emphasis on
wireless, cryptography, and steganography technologies that are being
developed to protect your freedom and anonymity from the every
increasing listening entities on the internet. More information is
available at:
http://www.toorcon.org
PRE-REGISTRATION
Pre-registration for toorcon this year is only $50 and will be
closing September 12th, 2003, so please pre-register ASAP and save
$15 off the door price! To commemorate our 5-year milestone, we will
be giving away official commemorative t-shirts to the first 50
registered attendees. There are a few shirts left so register today
for your chance at a FREE shirt.

I am setting up the December meeting for Lilax (http://www.lilax.org)
and wanted to know how many of you would show up for the following
presentation by GenaWare. Take a look at the following information and
then the proposed talk. If you will be attending let me know by sending
an affirmative e-mail to me - if there are a good number who are
interested then the company will have the speakers fly out. I believe
they are coming from NC.
These days this kind of information regarding potential attendance is
the kind of thing that companies would like to gather prior to making
the commitment. If there are not many of you who can attend then it
might be that we can postpone the session to next year.
Thanks, Ismet

Subject: UUASC-LA March 2004 Program
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 23:39:40 -0800
From: Hershel Remer <unixrabbi@...>
UUASC-LA
Unix Users Association of Southern California -- Los Angeles
March 2004 Meeting
-----------------------------------------------
OpenOffice Interoperability
-----------------------------------------------
Thursday, Mar. 4, 7-9 pm
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
222 N. Sepulveda in El Segundo
10th Floor -- Martinique Room
-----------------------------------------------
For the past decade, a vendor hostile to UNIX has dominated the office suite
software market, but the release of StarOffice 7 / OpenOffice 1.1 for
Solaris, Linux, and Windows marked the first credible assault ever on that
monopoly.
At the March meeting of UUASC-LA, Dan Kegel, engineer at Google and host of
http://lalugs.org , makes his UUASC debut by explaining how to migrate
most Microsoft Office users to UNIX-compatible applications without getting
lynched.
To ensure that last part, Dan will provide tips on how to run a successful
trial deployment and how to give good feedback to Sun on problems found
during the trial so that subsequent releases address those issues. Dan will
give examples of compatibility problems and crashes he uncovered during his
own testing, and reveal to us how well Sun responded to those problems.
Dan's past projects include:
-- making it easier to build gcc, http://kegel.com/crosstool
-- QA on OpenOffice, http://kegel.com/openoffice
-- evangelizing Linux in universities, http://kegel.com/linux/edu
-- showing developers how to handle zillions of network connections,
http://kegel.com/c10k.html
-- how to craft peer-to-peer software that can be used behind firewalls,
http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~dank/peer-nat.html
Dan also contributed to the networked versions of classic games such as
MechWarrior 2 at Activision.
After the meeting, you are invited to mingle with many of the chapter
members at UUASC-LA's favorite dining and drinking spot. Details will be
presented at the meeting.
WARNING: People may take photographs of UUASC-LA meetings and social events.
If someone is absolutely opposed to having his or her photograph taken, that
person needs to please speak with the photographer.
Warning to photographers: You must have a person's permission to post
photographs in any public manner.

to Sepulveda Blvd. and turn right. Stay in the right lane and take another
right onto Grand Ave. Pass the building on the
corner completely and turn into the second driveway on the right

However, that number won't be available after business hours
(5:30). After that time, call 310-607-2560.
Parking:
Convenient FREE parking is located next to the Sun office building in the
adjacent parking structure. Entrances are on the South side of Grand Avenue,
and on the East side of Sepulveda Blvd.
Building:
Entrances to the Oracle building are located on the North and South sides of
the building. However, after business hours, the ones on the North side are
locked from both the inside and the outside, so
only use the doors on the South side of the building. The doors on the
South may be locked to the outside, but the guard can be notified to come
open it by knocking on the door.
UUASC wants to especially thank member Matt Ingenthron of Sun for his
excellent hospitality. And, UUASC-LA wants to thank our host, Sun
Microsystems, for the continued support of our meetings.
--------------------------------------------------
UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or professionally, or
interested in learning more about UNIX. We recognize all varieties of UNIX,
including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, and
BSD. This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden
your skills and knowledge.
There are two UUASC chapters serving Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
Meeting locations for each chapter are detailed at our web site,
www.uuasc.org. Please visit our web site.
There are no dues or other membership requirements. More than 250 persons
receive our monthly email newsletter, and more than 200 persons receive our
daily emails from our members. Meeting attendance varies to as high as 60.
Volunteers manage the club and more volunteers are always needed.
Los Angeles County Chapter meetings are held the first Thursday of each
month from 7 to 9 pm ( or whenever we feel like stopping ). Generally,
meetings include a technical presentation on a hardware or software topic of
current interest to the UNIX community and a round-table discussion of
current topics of interest to the group. UUASC-LA needs future topic
suggestions (and volunteers)!!

start planning out LUG involvement. We had a great showing of LUG booths
last year as well as great attendance by LUG members, we would like to see
more. We are currently planning SCALE 3.0 to be a two day event, February
12th and 13th (Saturday and Sunday). More details will follow in the coming

and what they might want to see in SCALE 3. Please send those ideas to
gareth@... with "SCALE IDEA" in the subject (just as a matter
of filtering for me :)
There is a good amount of time between now and SCALE 3 but as always it'll
be here before we know it, please plan early.
Thank you.

Greetings Everyone -
We're planning another SCLUG-hosted BBQ on the 18th of September and
are extending an invitation to members of other LUGs to join us. The BBQ
will be shifting venues this time. Rather than the past location at
Orv Beach's house in Simi Valley, we'll be at Craig Zeller's house in
Tujunga. The BBQ will begin at 1pm and will run until Craig kills the power
and Internet access :)
This will be a true geek BBQ, so there will be Internet access (wired and
wireless). However, space will be tight so if you're planning to bring a
machine, bring a laptop; no desktops please :) We will also not be held
responsible for BBQ sauce in keyboards or ketchup in mice :)
Craig will be providing chili as well as BBQ chicken. We'll need others to
bring side dishes or additional meat. Contact Orv Beach
<orv@...> and let him know what you're bringing.
More information including the address & directions can be found at
http://www.sclug.org/bbq/
Thanks and hope to see everyone there!

Thanks and Regards
SoCAL LinuxExpo CFP Committee.
At the SCALE conference, I recall a booth sponsered by
a So. CA Debian users group, but can't find any
reference to them anywhere, including the link
at www.lalugs.org.
Anyone know if this group is still active?
Regards, Dallas E. Legan II / legan@... / aw585@...
I updated http://lalugs.org tonight. In particular, I made
a pass through the LUG listings and moved all
the dead-looking ones to an 'inactive' list.
I was surprised to see usclug and lilax's sites down;
are those groups still alive?
I also moved the list of LUGs closer to the top, since it seems
to be the most important thing after the event calendar.
Have a look at the site and let me know if there
are any corrections or improvements I should do.
Thanks,
Dan

Due to some domain registration fun, lilax had to move to
unixforall.org, however that site seems to be down as well.

AMR Research, an independent enterprise software research and advisory
firm, is currently conducting a study on the evolution of the patterns
of Linux adoption within IT organizations. The resulting report will
focus on the paths of Linux adoption and progression within IT
environments, and the factors that encourage or discourage its use.
We would like to talk with Linux users and discuss the Linux history of
their IT environment; how it was evaluated, what they started with, what
they are using it for now, and what their intended next steps are.
Interviews usually take 20-30 minutes. All participants will receive a
free copy of the report and all conversations will be kept confidential.
This research is not sponsored by any software vendors.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to participate or if you have
any questions.
Thanks,
