Description:
The August meeting came around a little earlier than expected with the
third Thursday being on the 15th. We have a few topics for discussion,
including:
- A tool for Ruby documentation
- A couple of pictures from SysAdmin Day
- Data logging with a RPi
- Charting services for web enabled devices. The internet of things is
being tracked
- A couple of comments on the OCLUG meeting on SUSEstudio and BTRFS
- The usual open call for more topics
For anyone interested, the full LISA'13 registration will be opening
next month, so if you are going, you might want to sign up early. The
current list of training is available as a PDF download from the usenix
site.
We had a successful SysAdmin Day get together. Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures.

be no fixing of computers, networks or security audits.

Here are a few followup items from the meeting:
The Raspberry Pi as a FM transmitter:

Monitoring Tools - this turned into a segue on configuration management
as well:
There was a short PXE discussion where I mentioned a very good writeup
on using it with FreeBSD. The thing that made this a great resource is
that it talks about the options and features that can be used as well as
the actual booting portion. It also happens to be available as a HTML
page or a PDF. According to the author, he used AsciiDoc to generate it
and this is a great example of the type of documentation you can create
with AsciiDoc
Title: July Meeting 2013

Description: It is July already…
Not a lot of topic info for this month, given that it is typically a
quiet month for our meetings.
I was considering the following items:
- Fun things to do with a Raspberry Pi - FM Radio transmitter
- Monitoring tools has come up as a side topic at OCLUG, so a list of
basic ones comes to mind. Maybe we will have some discussion on
experiences with them
- Renato wanted some PXE boot info, so we can certainly add that to
the pot, including all of those nice things we can do with a PXE
environment and TFTPD and DHCPD
- SysAdmin Appreciation Day is coming, so we should pick a venue for a
short social evening
- Any other topics
Start Time: 19:00
Date: 2013-07-18
End Time: 21:30
