LOUD Fest
Wednesday, November 4th. 6pm 756ESB

What is LOUD?
LOUD (LCSEE Optimized Ubuntu Distribution) is a modified version of
the Ubuntu Linux distribution used within West Virginia University's
computer science department. In addition to the standard Ubuntu
packages, the department also maintains several packages containing
software and scripts for use in the department's classes.

Interested in development?
Development for the next release, scheduled for July 2010, will begin
soon with the Alpha Release of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). Visit
http://launchpad.net/loud-platform to get involved.

Interested in running LOUD virtually?
We can show you everything you need to know. Bring a laptop and your
ability to access the wireless network if you would like to get
running at the Fest.

General Meeting w/ Guest Speaker Mark Dalrymple
Thursday, November 5th. 7pm 801ESB

Mark Dalrymple, author of Advanced Mac OS X Programming and Learn
Objective–C on the Mac, has been a Macintosh programmer since 1985 and
a professional UNIX programmer since 1990.

On the Mac side of things, Mark has contributed to the AOL 3.0 client
and was chief architect of an internal publishing tool that interfaced
with both the Mac AOL client and the AOL proprietary publishing
infrastructure, all using C++. On the UNIX side, he has contributed
code and developer documentation to the Galaxy cross-platform toolkit
(supporting more than 20 different UNIX platforms, as well as Windows,
the Mac, and OpenVMS) using C and C++.

While at AOL, Mark was also technical lead for the AOLserver team.
AOLserver is a web application server implemented in C and Tcl which
collectively across all AOL web properties was handling tens of
thousands of hits per second on many different UNIX platforms (Linux,
HP, SGI, Digital Alpha, Solaris).

Mark is currently employed by the Goog in PA.
