CPLUG

The next CPLUG meeting will be on Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 6:30 PM at ITT. Hopefully we won’t have yet another snowpocalypse, and we’ll actually be able to have a meeting!

The topic for March is iSCSI. iSCSI is an IP-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. By carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances. iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.

Feel free to RSVP on the CPLUG Meetup page (optional), and we’ll see you then!

Tonight’s CPLUG meeting has been cancelled due to the forecast of 12+ inches of snow. We’ll try again next month (3/9/2010).

After you run to the store to stock up on bread, milk, and eggs, it’ll be a perfect night to check out the #cplug IRC channel at irc.cplug.net, port 6667 or 6697 (ssl). :)

Hopefully we’ll see you in March!

Please note that, right now, AccuWeather is forecasting another 3 – 8″ of heavy snow mixed with sleet for Tuesday night. If that’s the case, the upcoming meeting may be canceled due to bad weather.

The cancellation announcement will be posted here and on the mailing list. Be sure to check the mailing list and blog before driving over to ITT. :)

Say goodbye to tables and say hello to document-oriented databases… this month’s meeting topic will be CouchDB, presented by Vikram Dighe!

Apache CouchDB, commonly referred to as CouchDB, is a free and open source document-oriented database written in the Erlang programming language. It is designed for local replication and to scale vertically along a wide range of devices.

The meeting will be (weather permitting) on Tuesday, February 9 at 6:30 PM as usual.

Feel free to RSVP on the Central PA Linux Meetup page if you are planning to attend!
