Join by yourself, or with friends. IRC: Freenode.net, Channel: #BerkeleyTIP VOIP: Use Ekiga SW & a VOIP headset, Do an Ekiga loopback test before the meeting, to ensure your system works properly. http://groups.google.com/group/BerkTIPGlobal/web/irc-voip Join the IRC channel & we'll help you get set up on VOIP. ===== 2) VIDEO Talks- Thanks to CLUG & NYLUG videographers!

Goal is to improve the SW or config to improve aspects of VOIP for the BTIP meeting - more end user info, details about the connection, communication between client & server, & server admin interface. ===== 4) INSTALLFEST In Berkeley we'll likely be working to figure out why a Dell Vostro 1 yr old with a new KUbuntu 8.04 (I chose that over 8.10 to avoid KDE 4 till its got more bugs out & more features in) is locking up, in fact might have messed up the booting SW, cause it hangs booting linux now, but boots the preinstalled-nonfreesw OS. Possible suspects: bad WiFi driver, bad NVidia HW or driver, perhaps leading to bad disk writes. Or, maybe bad disk or controller or MBoard? IF item 2: is a possible Ubuntu Intrepid install help.

Excellent. One of the main goals is to learn about asterisk, so we can either improve the VOIP service from ekiga that we use, or create our own customized to our desires for the meeting. I hope you can join us in person, at the city of Berkeley main library on Shattuck & Kitteridge, Jan 3 Sat, or join with us online using VOIP. Sounds like you might have some useful skills. id like to strike up some convo nexttime, as i think > i am a little late to this freenode session. you are early.

Would your life be simpler if you could programmatically input data into web applications, even those tuned to resist interaction by bots? This talk presents the basics of web scraping and then dives into the details of different methods and where they are most applicable. You'll leave with an understanding of when to apply different tools and learn about a "heavy hammer" for screen scraping used by a project for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Attendees should bring a laptop, if possible, to try the examples and optionally take notes. http://svn.asheesh.org/svn/public/20082009/pycon-proposal.rst Meetings start with a Newbie Nugget, a short discussion of an essential Python feature, specially for those new to Python. tonight's Newbie Nugget: Code Coverage Basics by Benjamin Sargeant NEW LOCATION FOR JANUARY 8, 2009 The Tech Museum of Innovation 201 South Market Street San Jose, CA 95113 ROOM: "Large Group Meeting Room", which is on the right as one enters the building from the Park Street entrance.

Bay Area Linux User Group (BALUG) Tuesday 6:30 P.M. 2009-01-20 Kyle Rankin[1] on "Where'd my Files Go? - A guide to the Modern Ubuntu Distribution" Please RSVP if you're planning to come (see further below). While you might not be able to tell at a cursory glance, a lot has changed behind the scenes on a modern Ubuntu system from what you might be used to if you have used Linux for years. For example, did you know Ubuntu is phasing out System V init? That you can't loopback-mount the initrd? In this talk Kyle will discuss the current changes Ubuntu is making to what we might consider the traditional Linux system. There's a little something for everyone on the talk: For Linux newbies who are curious about what's under the hood Kyle will cover the traditional and modern boot process including how init works and follow up with a guide to where important files are in Ubuntu. For the experienced Linux user Kyle will show you how (and why) things have changed and where you can look now when you want to, for instance, change the default runlevel on an Ubuntu system. Kyle Rankin is a systems architect for Quinstreet, Inc.[2], the current president of the North Bay Linux Users Group[3], the author of Knoppix Hacks,[4] Knoppix Pocket Reference[5], Linux Multimedia Hacks[6], and Ubuntu Hacks[7] and has contributed to a number of other O'Reilly[8] books. Kyle is also a columnist for Linux Journal[9] and has had articles featured in PC Magazine[10], TechTarget[11] and other publications. So, if you'd like to join us please RSVP: rsvp at balug.org **Why RSVP??** Well, don't worry we won't turn you away, but the RSVPs really help the Four Seas Restaurant plan the meal and they ensure that we're able to eat upstairs in the private banquet room.
