I attended Ohio Linuxfest ( OLF ) for the first time last weekend. I enjoyed the event and got to meet new people.

We have two talks this month. and pizza!

Thanks to John and LI9 for the pizza.

Both talks are about recent distribution releases. Red Hat Enterprise 8 released at the end of May and Debian 10 released at the beginning of July.

For April PLUG is delving both into history and the future with Robots and Relics.

SCaLE 17x was an excellent conference, as one expects from SCaLE. Thanks to all the volunteers who invite us into Pasadena and build an awesome experience for us. My first planned event was my own Ubucon presentation. The hallway track was already in full swing at check in. I immediately ran into several friends. I also met some new people, a good sign.

SCaLE has a nice MySQL track this year. As usual, it is Friday. This year it’s in room 101.

SCaLE17x’s BoF sign up for evening sessions is open.

Have a passion you’d like to share? Is there a community you want to connect with at SCaLE? Want some open discussion on a topic?

Join or create Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

In the most recent episode of Free as in Freedom (ep 0x61) Bradley mentioned having trouble using NoScript with current web sites.

As a long-time fan of NoScript, I understand his frustration. Fortunately, there’s now uMatrix.

At this year’s Jobs BoF we will be reviewing resumes. Bring resumes for review by tech industry veterans at the SCaLE 17x jobs BoF.

Friday night at 19:00 we will have tech engineering managers and recruiters on hand in Ballroom C. Resume reviews will run for an hour with informal career networking continuing for at least another hour in Ballroom C.

We have two topics for February’s PLUG meeting. Brian will cover "An introduction to the Hugin Panorama Stitcher" and Phil will cover "Krita basics, drawing assistants and G’Mic".

UbuCon accepted my Software Management for Debian and Ubuntu talk, for Thursday at 11:30 in Ballroom A.
