June 11th 2005 GLLUG (slightly late) Announcement
I'm pleased to announce that the next GLLUG meeting will be held on June 11th between 13:30 and 18:00 at New Cavendish Street campus of Westminster University. This is located in the shadow of the BT Tower.
The nearest tube stations are Great Portland Street, Warren Street and Goodge Street. Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Circus are also within easy walking distance. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?postcode2map?W1W+6UW
This event is FREE to members and non-members.
Eventually the details for this meeting will live: http://gllug.org.uk/meeting-20050611.html
-------------------------- Speakers: -------------------------- We currently have three talks lined up for this meeting, I'll post updates with the full, speaker provided summaries as I get them.
Christian Smith (Micromuse) and Stig Brautaset (Fotango) Autoconf, Automake and libtool, collectively known as Autotools, provide a portable platform for project configuration and build management. This talk will introduce the concepts used within autotools and an example autotools based project to demonstrate these concepts.
Matthew Bloch (Bytemark) Virtualisation on Linux and running large numbers of systems.
Ian Pratt (Xen) A discussion of Xen with a deeper technical focus on certain features.
Note: Unfortunately Michael Meeks won't be able to speak at this meeting as previously announced, despite his patience and very generous flexibility in scheduling, I was unable to accommodate all the speakers on the date of the event.
-------------------------- After the talks we'll be heading over to the (5 minutes away) Greenman Pub for drinks and then off for food at a to be decided restaurant.
Thanks for this meeting go to: * Sean Tohill for providing, and being very flexible with, the venue. * Michael Meeks for putting up with my rescheduling. * The speakers for donating their time.
