Central Pennsylvania Linux User Group
In July the meeting topic was “Bringing best practices to the worst language: continuous integration for PHP”. Mark talked about the setup and use of Continuum, PHP-Unit, and Selenium for testing PHP applications.
The speaker for the August meeting was Seth, talking about Gnome-Do and KDE tips and tricks.
Meetings are always on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM. See you at the next one!
There will be a special guest speaker at the June meeting! The topic will be “Building Highly Available systems from unreliable components” by Dennis Gerasimov.
The presentation will give a brief introduction to the concepts of availability, reliability, the use of redundancy and monitoring to improve the availability. An overview of hardware and network architecture for building highly availably systems will be followed by discussion of various methods to achieve high availability using open source software: Linux-HA for monitoring and fail over, several methods of achieving HA with Apache, MySQL replication and shared cluster storage.
See you then!
The first talk at CPLUG’s May meeting was presented by Rob, who discussed “Home Automation with the Vera Z-Wave controller”. After the break, Lon and Eric discussed the online TODO apps Remember the Milk and Hiveminder.

CPOSC, the Central PA Open Source Conference, is a one-day, multi-track, low-cost conference about all things open source: software, programming, operating systems, community and more. It will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2009 in Harrisburg, PA.
The Call for Participation (CFP) is open right now and we are currently looking for interesting talks and presentations. If you’ve given a talk at CPLUG before, or if you’ve got a cool topic to talk about, please don’t be shy! We’d love to hear your idea!
The Speaker FAQ page has all the info you need to submit an abstract. And yes, you can submit more than one! ;)
More info is available at the CPOSC 2009 website. Check it out, and we hope to see you in October!

We have a meeting coming up tomorrow (11/11/08) at 6:30 PM.
We didn’t have an official October meeting, so the meeting this month will have a belated-Halloween theme — Dead Protocols and Zombie processes!
We’re going to talk about a number of has-been protocols that were quite cool in their hay day, and Chris will be explaining what those zombie’s in our process lists are (amongst other things).
See you tomorrow!
We didn’t have a formal meeting with presentations in October due to CPOSC being the same month. Although we did meet at ITT to chat and allow some of the speakers a chance to test out their hardware with the projectors.
The next meeting will be November 11, 2008.
Just a quick reminder about the meeting this coming Tuesday. As usual, we have two talks:
See you then!
