Anyone want to be a speaker for the next meetup?

[Glen Ogilvie]

Hi,

Anyone keen to be a speaker for the next meetup.. We've not had much meetups this year, because no-one has
put their hand up to talk.  I'm looking for people to present something.


Also, a Welcome to Nicole, Jun and Dean who have recently joined the Aucklug mailing list.

Regards
Glen Ogilvie

Hi All,

Although I don't have anything polished to share currently. I would be interested to talk in the future.

What are people interested in learning/listening to ?

Regards,

Altan

(New to aucklug)

Hi Glen,

Any idea on a date yet?

I'm interested, both as speaker and listener. My subject of interest
are, in no particular order:
- Embedded Linux
- Software Defined Radio
- C++/Qt
- Continuous Integration
- ECAD/MCAD (Electronics/Mechanical Computer Aided Design)

I did a few talks in the past covering topics such as:
- Music production on Linux (http://www.toulibre.org/, France)
- Install OpenWRT on your home router (https://www.tog.ie/, Dublin hacker-space)
- Scripting your C++/Qt app with JavaScript (WellyLug, NZ)

I like short, demo-driven talks, with several speakers. Easy to talk,
easy to listen.

I wouldn't mind to prepare something short on one of these topics:
- SDR with GNURadio (http://gnuradio.org/)
- MCAD with FreeCAD (http://www.freecadweb.org/)
- Run your own Continous Integration system with Gitlab CI runner
(https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ci/)

Where do you guys usually meet?

Chris (new comer)

Hi Chris,

Thank you for offering to do a talk sometime.  Just let me know when is good for you and we can make it happen! 

We usually meet at OSS's offices (162 Grafton Road, Auckland), on the first working day of the month, so next meeting tentatively Monday October 3rd, at 7 - 9pm
This day is flexible, if it suits a speaker for it to be a different day.

Any one of the topics you have talked about before would be of interest to the group.
The talk on,

- Run your own Continous Integration system with Gitlab CI runner

I expect would have a large audience appeal.

Also, a repeat of your WellyLug talk would also be interesting I think to many.

- Scripting your C++/Qt app with JavaScript (WellyLug, NZ) 

Please let me know when you might be free to do a talk, and if you would like to share the time slot (2 hours) with another talk, or we can just have some social time for people to mix.

We've had a bit of a quite period for the last few months, although Bruce has just organized an intro session,
http://www.meetup.com/AuckLUG/events/234210989/

Meetings are posted on meetup.com, and if we can, on the mailing list as well.

The meetup group has 500 members, and this google group has about 350 subscribers, so Aucklug has a large range of interests.

Hi Altan,

Thank you for offering to do a talk in the future sometime.  People putting there hand up like you help the group be a community and give the Aucklug group a reason to meet.

Generally most talks fill up.   Aucklug is a large group, so we have a range of different people come to different meetups.   We have meetups ranging from beginner sessions, desktop usage, etc, to
sessions focused at full time system admins and sessions focused at developers, hardware hackers and everything in between.  

So, picking something your interested in, write up a brief description of it, and let me know.
If looking for a topic, here are some ideas, that people were interested in.

* Voice recognition
* Linux on non-intel
* Samba server setup, printer sharing.
* Search engines
* Virtualisation technologies
* What is open source, what is Linux... what is the focus, who makes it, why.
* Comparison between Linux and Windows...   itunes, games, other products and websites like tvnz on demand, quickflicks.
* Understanding Wifi issues, signal strength, speed, security.
* Open Office/ LibreOffice tips and tricks.
* Web browser power user howto.  Addon's, spam filters, web developer plugin, etc
* Interesting projects meeting, 10 minute per speaker.
* Cgroups
* SELinux
* Red Hat Certification, Linux Professional Institute
* Docker
* Networking
* Programming topics
* Talks about how businesses use Linux
* Talks about how Linux is used
* Talks about lessons learned and solutions using Linux
* Talks about how to contribute to open source projects

Hi Glen,

That sounds good. If we go for this one, the focus would be on setting
up and running a Linux/MacOSX/Windows CI system for an Open Source
Qt/C++ project. With an quick introduction about other solutions and
why I choose Gitlab for the CI and Qbs for the build system.
Not sure i can make it last 2 hours tho, have to think about this.

Maybe a split would be good. I can make it for Monday the 3rd of
October or another week day if you or the other speaker prefer.

+1 for Run your own Continous Integration system with Gitlab CI runner

I too expect it would have audience appeal.

A suggested topic:-

from a training perspective, I would like to learn about using (some of)
Linux' many multimedia facilities to build demo, training, and testing
resources.

- video from 'movie camera', web-cam, screen recorder, etc
- capturing the spoken word and other sounds from 'a recording device',
direct to PC, clips from 'the web'
- how to edit and combine such inputs
- scripting/wire-frames and other planning and management techniques
- methods and manner of delivery both synchronously and asynchronously,
in-person and remotely
- other stuff I have yet to realise is important...



From a more general perspective, one of the key barriers to the take-up
of a FLOSS project is showing potential users how the tool will solve
(their) problems, then how to make use thereof, and later, its advanced
features.

The need is quickly confirmed by the quantity of (most) so-called
'tutorials' cluttering YouTube; and equally-rapidly established by
evaluating their (dismal) quality and efficacy...

Hi Glen,

Is the talk session still scheduled? I would like to know sooner
rather than later as I will be away this week-end for 3 days with no
internet connectivity.
I'm still in for the Gitlab CI talk. I have started writing down a
couple of things and i'm confident i can get something ready for
Monday evening.
If you prefer to re-schedule I'm fine with this too.

Let me know.

Chris

Sorry for short notice, but i'm actually away for 4 days, Monday
included, and i don't have everything ready right now. So Hopefully we
can make it happen another day, maybe in a week or two.

Hi Chris,

No worries, I've not scheduled it yet, party because I've been busy, and partly because I may also be in Wellington next week, so may not be

able to to host it at OSS, if I am away.

Lets aim for a time you are available.   Would 17/10/16 be a good date for you?

Was doing some Bamboo admin here, which reminded me I had to answer your email about Gitlab talk (I wish I could switch our CI to Gitlab here at work! ;)).

So yes, Monday 17/10/16 suits me.

Can anyone confirm this is still scheduled? Who's planning to come?

Thx,

[Chris Gagneraud]

Not sure if I should assume it's scheduled or cancelled since I haven't heard anything from anyone. Will head up in 30 minutes. Please let me know.
