SeaGL was held on November 3 and 4. I was able to watch some of the
discussions and they were all excellent. They streamed the sessions on
youtube and they are many hours long but are a good resource until SeaGL
post separate videos of each session:

Our meeting on Tuesday will follow our normal format with introductions
all around, collecting technical questions to answer later, then any
presentations, and finishing with our best answers to the technical
questions.

Last month we discussed these and other topics:

Bob Baxter mentioned watching a linux security presentation from the
APCUG organization, which KEGS members can all access:

We discussed the low cost risk vision5 cpu's that run linux:

David mentioned terraform again and some network routing using the vyos
system, one of many options:

Dallas was interested in using idempiere to help manage a set of data.
While we were discussing the software, Randy installed it on one of his
systems. I hope we can investigate options for this work.

Another member used podman to build an apache spark system on a local
machine for development and testing:

I hope to see you at this Tuesday meeting.
