RSVP to the Startup Edmonton ELUG Meetup event

The Edmonton Linux User Group (ELUG) Meetup is a chance to get together with other users of Linux, GNU, and Unix-like operating systems, and open source software. Our members range from newcomers to power users to seasoned administrators and developers; so, all are welcome!

We meet as an opportunity to exchange ideas, knowledge, and experiences for several reasons:
– to educate for personal and professional growth
– to promote and advocate for the free and open source movement
– to support and assist with Linux-related challenges
– and to socialize with peers who have a common interest

Examples of topics that may be discussed or presented include (but not limited to):
– Exposure to different distributions
– Workshops on various tools and commands
– User-level and system-level development and tuning
– just about anything else Linux-related

We welcome anyone with an interest in Linux and/or open source software and look forward to building the Linux community in Edmonton.

Standard Agenda:

6:00pm – Arrival, mingling, setting up techno-stuff
6:30pm – Welcome & introductions, presentation begins
7:30pm – Announcements, open discussions
8:00pm – Event conclusion (officially, but we usually hang around for as long as we feel like it after)

If you would like to help with the operations of this group, or even just make suggestions, please contact Robert Salomons or Manuel Eller or David Laycock.

David showed us how to set up a NextCloud instance. Nextcloud is your own personal cloud offering a myriad of features and functions. You want to setup your own, private iCloud? Nextcloud makes sure your data never leaves your control. You want to be able to edit office documents on in the cloud? Nextcloud offers a full fledged office solution. You want to synchronize your phone’s data with your Nextcloud instance? Install the iPhone or Android app, connect to your server and you are good to go.

If you want to have a quick look at what was covered in our last meeting please feel free to review the video here:

This month we had an open forum. The focus was on general networking. There were a few questions around DHCP and static IPs. Some basics around network protocols were discussed as well as how these were developed. A few of the items that came up were token ring networking, OCI, TCP, UDP to name a few.

If you want to take a look into our Nextcloud instance you can find that here:
