It’s June, we are almost halfway into the new year, and things haven’t changed too much. We still don’t have many new topics, many new people, and Ottawa is still in a very slow recovery mode. This month, I hope to at least talk about the open filer, that I mentioned last month.

Same bat time, same bat channel. Look at the meeting link

I finally got around to upgrading to the latest version of the software. There may be a few items broken/missing, as some of the modules I was using supposedly are not compatible. Any discrepancies should get ironed out over the next couple of days.

May meeting is fast approaching. Hopefully we will have a little discussion regarding the upcomming LPI exams, and a little discussion regarding a couple of storage technoogies, ATAoE and OpenFiler.

It’s that time again…

Welcome to April. We are having a meeting this Thursday, April 21 at the Altera Technology Center as usual. It seems that none of the prior topics have panned out as expected, so this month, something that might be of broader interest: digital copyright law. There are a number of things that can be discussed, one of which is the potential Canadian modification of the copyright laws and allowing for serious privacy infringements. The current minister of heritage is bowing to pressure from the CRIA and these changes could appear as soon as June this year. This is not the first time that this has raised it’s head, and it may not be the last.

Ottawa Valley SAGE is pleased to sponsor another LPI exam session on May 28, 2005.

Yes, I know it’s a bit out of the way, but we do have use of the training center there, and it holds about 40 to 50 people. Traditionally, space has not been an issue.

We will try to have the next one in a downtown location, to assist with the people who prefer to not visit the ‘burbs.
