A meeting of folks interested in BSD operating systems and related technologies to get together, eat pizza, drink beer, and talk about what interesting things have been going on

Join grassroots bicycle transportation advocates to share tech info and work together toward a complete and sustainable bike transportation network for Portland. Everyone is welcome whether you have years of programming / tech experience or just a few pictures of dirty bike lanes and broken sidewalks. Recurring meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each month.

Agenda:

• PBOT's maps of signs and traffic signals + striping
• pdxreporter / 311 open data

This is an informal work session and hangout, discussion/questions and sharing tech knowledge to collaboratively build political power for safe streets and a complete bike transportation network that works for all people of all ages and abilities.

Meet up with fellow Portland-area Rust programmers, give a lightning talk on your own project, find something interesting to collaborate on, or just enjoy talking shop with your fellow Rustaceans!

This is our first meeting since the pandemic! (Remember the pandemic?) We don't have any big topics planned to present, so this will just be a hack night. Brainstorming talk ideas for future meetups is definitely on topic.

Kindly hosted by Portland State University, we'll be meeting in Computer Science Conference Room FAB 086-01. Calagator has an entry for this venue: https://calagator.org/venues/202394217

(I'm a bit unclear on the security details; we may have someone at the door to let people in, in which case arriving late might be difficult, since we'd of course like that person to come down and join the group eventually. When I have more details I'll update this. -JimB)

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement

Who: Julia Iacoviello
What: Using DRBD and LINSTOR to Facilitate Cloud Migration and Mobility
Where: 5500 SW Dosch Rd, Portland
When: Thursday, August 3rd, 2023 at 7pm
Why: The pursuit of technology freedom

There are many advantages to flexible cloud storage, but even with a good idea of how you might implement your environment in the cloud, the challenge of transferring legacy data may stand in your way. In this talk, Julia Iacoviello from LINBIT will explain core concepts of the open source, distributed replicated storage system, DRBD, as well as the open source storage management software, LINSTOR. Then, we will explore how these technologies can be leveraged to mitigate pain points in migrating production databases and other services into the cloud, including to containerized applications that rely on persistent stateful storage. Special considerations to be made for migration of existing data will be highlighted in this talk; additionally, a broad base of information about DRBD and general high-availability storage will be provided, with the hope that all that attend may learn something applicable to their particular use case, now or in the future.
