This is a place to organize talks and sketch out a schedule for VTLUUG in 2018
Contents
[hide]Goals
The general idea is to not have many Social Meetings, in order to keep up interest of membership, and make it worth people's time. Also, I don't want to be president next year, and no-one else does, either, so we need people to do stuff. Socializing can happen before meetings in the form of PMS.
In general, we should have meetings every week; about half-an-hour should be dedicated to news, club updates, and business. The rest of the meeting (1 to 2 hours) should be dedicated to the talk.
Talks
I'd like to see us have 3 talks each month:
- 1 industry-sponsored/provided tech/recruiting talk
- 1 "beginners" or intro talk to some subject
- e.g.
- Intro to LaTeX
- Intro to vimscript/vim
- Intro to mutt
- Beginners guide to Ubuntu Mate
- Talk about how to replace MS word with LO^WLaTeX, etc
- These should be provided by members of the club
- Perhaps put some effort into reaching out for the more beginner-friendly ones
- Focus should be on free software rather than technologies (IPv6) or programming languages
- e.g.
- 1 "advanced" or project talk
- These can be by members or alumni, but also by non-members
- not expected to be free-software focused (although prefered)
- btreecat's talk on UAV was a great example of this, as was nluther's discussion of his thesis project
Non-talk meetings, or Social Meetings should have a call-for-talks the week before, to get short presentations/lightning talks by members. Otherwise, they'll just be discussions of news, tech, and FOSS, or quick tutorials on things people ask questions about.
Events
I'd like to have at least 3 events during the semester (about 1 every month), outside of talks. These should be about free software, open data, or anything else interesting.
Ideas:
- Installfest (we already have 1 each semester)
- OSM Day (co-hosted with the Locations Club?)
- Keysigning Party
- Hackathons
- Setup luug infra
- Setup Ubiquiti for Darknet
- Some event advocating for free software or teaching people about it, in a context besides the Installfest
- Mass protests of proprietary software usage on campus
We should also make an effort to attend events hosted by other entities, and have a table, like:
- SELF (CLT, summer), CarolinaCon (RDU, april/may), All Things Open (RDU, october)
- VT Hacks
- Gobblerfest
- SEC Engineering Week
- CEED O-Show for Galileo/Hypatia at the beginning of the year (generally weekend before classes)
Talks People Want
- jfranklin: survey of election software
Talks People are Willing to Give
Ideas for talks can be found here.
echarlie
- Intro to GPG (alternately: PGP Sucks!)
- IPv6: A pep talk
- Building a router with OpenBSD
- Running a radio station with open source
telnoratti
- ZFS
- Linux and Unix Distro Sampler
- Grub2
- cgroups/LXC/docker
- Puppet
- timecube
- I/O Queuing
- Cults 101: Starting your first cult for fun and profit
- Cults 102: Advanced Culting Techniques
pew
- Linux security structure (how LSMs work)
- Ubertooth + demo
- mutt (alongside gmail)
Lyle
- Linux/Unix Hypervisors
Companies that may be willing to give talks
- Facebook -- aam is an alum who works here; lots of people came and got interviews from this
- OnyxPoint -- CEO asked echarlie when would be a good time to talk/recruit. SIMP looks cool and is primarily their project.
- Booz-Allen had some folks come by to give talks last year
- Randy from the ITSO would give a talk if we asked him (this barely counts for this category)
- Rackspace maybe? They're local
- Get larger campus departments (e.g. VTTI/ECE) to give talks about their libre software usage
Schedule: Fall 2017
September
- 2017-09-07 Pre-gobbler/installfest planning meeting (off-campus)
- 2017-09-08 Gobblerfest
- 2017-09-10 Installfest
- 2017-09-14 Some Intro talk
- 2017-09-21 I'd like to have an industry talk. We'll see how that goes.
- 2017-09-28 Intro to LSM (pew)
October
- 2017-10-05
- 2017-10-12
- 2017-10-19 Facebook Talk. Different time/location: 19:00 (room from 18:30) in McB 129
- 2017-10-26
This would be a good month to have an OSM day; perhaps around the 14
I'd also like to have OnyxPoint in this month, if possible
November
- 2017-11-02 distrowatch
- 2017-11-09 Telnortalk on init
- 2017-11-16 Joint BAH talk with CSEC
- 2017-11-30
Probably the month to have the keysigning, and thus a GPG talk
Cyber Range Russ said he could probably do a talk this month
December
- 2017-12-07
- 2017-12-14 Reading Day; Social off-campus meeting?
