Hi,
I've been involved with an open source software project,
http://www.bitcoin.org , for about the last 5-6 months.
If anybody is interested, I can come along to one of the meet ups for a
show and tell and get people up to speed with various aspects of it.
Cheers,
Greg B.

Hello Local Linux Community,
I'm an opensource enthusiast who has recently moved to the area and looking
to get a bit more connected.
I'm currently working on an instant infrastructure project to assist small
to medium offices (non-profits and education are my primary targets) setup a
functioning centrally managed computing and network infrastructure.
The initial code is up at github.
https://github.com/passionengine/ii/wiki
Long term we should be able to boot an entire infrastructure from a
smartphone or simple network device and create usb boot sticks for anything
that doesn't do pxe booting.
It will take bare metal machines (no os, no virtualiziation) and build them
up with Ubuntu, XP, and/or Vista configured with a chef-client to keep them
maintained centrally via a chef based infrastructure.
I'm hoping to pull a demo together by mid-september and present at Software
Freedom Day weekend (Waikato on Saturday and St. Mary's on Sunday).
I'd been keen to have coffee or chat with anyone interested in working with
me on this project.
Cheers,
-chris
Hello all,
Next Monday night Peter Reutemann will be doing an introductory presentation
on Elgg, an open source social networking tool.
http://elgg.org/
Bring your laptops and wifi smartphones along and hopefully we'll have a bit
of fun experimenting with a working server.

SFD 2011 is a little more than a month away, and I'm just wondering
who all wants to be involved. It's on 17th September this year. We
are planning to have it at Uni, at the very least we can use our
regular meeting room, and have a really low key day, or in the past we
held it in the S block building foyer, and used some of the lecture
rooms to do presentations. I was over at the Uni today and talked to
Sally Jo and she seemed to think that would be fine if we wanted to
have it there again. The NZCS meeting today was about the Linux
cluster there, and the presenter said he'd be keen to give a talk/demo
the cluster at SFD. We will be putting up a display at the library
first week of September, as all the boards were booked the second
week, and distributing some flyers around.
If anyone remembers what we did in 2007, I thought that went well,
having some tables set up w/ different demos and information, and we
ran presentations throughout the day. I'm good for one table, and
one presentation on something (possibly 20 years of Linux?) So let me
know who all wants to be involved and what you would like to do.
Best,
John
