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

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

If there are new people, look for a gaggle of people that may have
laptops or tablets out and there will likely be a set of crutches
nearby.
