CPLUG » John http://cplug.net/wp Central Pennsylvania Linux User Group Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:24:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 March Meeting http://cplug.net/wp/2010/02/25/march-meeting-2/ http://cplug.net/wp/2010/02/25/march-meeting-2/#comments Fri, 26 Feb 2010 01:24:17 +0000 John http://cplug.net/wp/?p=151 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!

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 bring some food to share — snacks, deserts, and similar goodies would be great. We’ll still order pizza too.

If you have any Linux/OSS questions, please feel free to bring them. If you’d like to bring your laptop or desktop to get help with something, you are welcome to do so!

And if you don’t need help with anything, no problem! You can either help other folks, or just hang out and talk about geeky things and eat yummy food. :)

Check out the Meetings page for directions, and see you there!
