AuckLUG April Meeting: Vik Olliver and the latest on 'RepRap'
Submitted by BlakJak on 30 Mar 2009 - 3:13pm Auckland
Coming up - the first non-holiday Monday of April... that'd be the Auckland LUG Monthly Meeting.


When: 7:00 pm Monday 6 April 2009

Where: Vodafone building, 20 Viaduct Harbour Avenue

Parking: anywhere in Halsey St

Guest Speaker: Vik Olliver, speaking on RepRap. For those who haven't heard of RepRap before, think "build your own 3-D> printer".

For those who have, think "and use it to print a RepRap machine".- and 'RepRap prints a RepRap machine!'

As usual we will have several rooms at our disposal:
- presentation
- socializing/BoF
- workshop/Q&A

An indication of numbers would be appreciated; if you let (Martin Kealey; martin {@t{ kurahaupo.gen.nz) know in advance, a name-tag can be pre-printed.

For those still awake, refreshments afterwards at The Drake, behind Victoria Park Market.

Auckland LUG Events for 2009
Submitted by BlakJak on 5 Jan 2009 - 3:59pm Auckland
Happy New Year everyone - welcome to 2009.

In late 2008 the Auckland LUG Meeting Convenors (Martin Kealey and Nevyn Hira) posted a proposed Meeting Agenda. This is an early headsup so that you can set it up in your calendars.
More details will be posted soon about the first meeting for 2009.


Auckland LUG December Meeting - Meet Greet and Quiz
Submitted by BlakJak on 1 Dec 2008 - 1:41pm Auckland
The AuckLUG Meeting for December 2008 is scheduled for TONIGHT (sorry for short notice - however, this is the first Monday of the Month which is the regular routine) with the venue being the Vodafone building, corner of Fanshaw Street and Halsey Drive (access from Viaduct Harbour Avenue).

This from Martin Kealey:

"Meet-and-greet until about 7:15.

Then a short talk, subject to wrangling a speaker; failing that (and if people are keen) I can talk about "interesting ways to break your email service" and/or "obfuscated bash scripting and other fun").

Then I'm hoping to have an "ask the experts" panel session. Volunteers to be "experts" gratefully accepted: do you know how to script a PPP connection? Compile a device driver? Convert a Windows installation to a VM? Hand-roll an xorg.conf? Cross-compile a Palm-OS app using GCC?"


Those attending are requested to RSVP direct to Martin and include a cellphone number in case of cancellation (notice via SMS will be made if this occurs).

Monday, 1 December 2008
Starts at 7pm.
Martin's Cellphone +6421627007
