Main page

The Linux and Unix Users Group at Virginia Tech Wiki is a free reference. Its purpose is to document how to make the most of Virginia Tech and other resources by utilizing *nix operating systems. Many articles on this site are templates from the VTLUUG-pioneered Uniluug project, in hopes of fostering greater collaboration between university Linux and Unix user groups.

Note: LDAP is not very well supported in MW 1.30 and dex doesn't support MW's OpenIDConnect Extension yet so for the time being you must login with a Google Account. UPDATE: the Dex PR got merged!!!!

Roadmap

This is a list of the various infrastructure/funding/etc projects that need to be done. Priority should range between 0 and 10 (inclusive), where higher is more imporant. Also check out dead projects and finished projects.

Priority	Project	Description	Leader	Progress
10	Infrastructure	Infrastructure Maintenance	echarlie, pew, current sysadmin???	Ongoing
2	Funding	Get SEC/SBB funding		An officer needs to attend SBB orientation, after that, $current_treasurer needs to know what exactly is needed, as we can only request funding for specific items and not general club money.
4	T-shirts	Decide on a t-shirt design, do a group order	marcusw	Need new candidate designs
5	Wiki expansion	Update existing content, import content into Gobblerpedia	echarlie, $current_secretary	Evaluating current state of pages
6	Club automation	Configuration management, etc	$sysadmin	Need automation stuff setup to enable rapid re-deployment of infrastructure
7	Inventory	Go through the offline equipment stored with marcusw and update information on Inventory	echarlie	Done???
9	Develop Backup Solution	Needs to be proposed and then agreed to by officers	pew	None

About this wiki

This wiki was intended to support *nix usage on campus. Here are suggested items for this wiki:

• Anything related to Linux usage, such as tutorials and other documentation, especially related to that at VT
• Anything related to VTLUUG (meeting minutes, infrastructure, projects, history, etc)
• Technical projects that VTLUUG members (individually or collectively) have done
• General geekery that doesn't fit anywhere else, related to interests of one or more VTLUUG members (e.g. audio gear, coffee, amateur radio, etc.)
• Opinionated content that may not reflect the interests of the entire Virginia Tech or Blacksburg community

Some items are more suited for Gobblerpedia, our sister wiki. These include:

• General content about Blacksburg or Virginia Tech that is non-technical in nature. Please categorize these with Move to Gobblerpedia so we can later migrate them in bulk.
