The June meeting is still a while off yet, but we thought we would try
something a little bit different and have a bunch of short talks instead of the
usual one or two longer talks.
Some suggestions for things people might want to talk about:
- some project they are currently working on
- a useful tool/application/distro they think others should know about
- some useful tips/tricks
- a general rant about some topic
Pretty much any topic semi-related to open source software, hardware, or
culture would be welcome. If you have a topic you are a bit unsure about, feel
free to run the idea by John… he’ll most likely say yes.
If you want to give a short talk, then please drop
John a line letting him know the topic and
how long you think your talk will be. Ideally we would like to keep talks
between 2-10 minutes, but if you need more time let John know and we’ll see
what we can schedule in.
We look forward to seeing what people come up with.
April is upon us and with it brings an earlier than
usual TasLUG
meeting, the second of the year to feature talks:
Ben Short
Grafana is a data visualisation and analytics platform
and the project has recently started developing a logging platform called
Loki. Ben will take you through setting up some
basic network & syslog monitoring using Grafana, Loki, and
Docker containers.
The venue for this month will be Enterprize Hobart:
- When:
- Thursday 11 April 2019 - 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start
- Where:
- Enterprize - Hobart
5th floor, Hobart City Council Building
24 Davey Street (map)
Note: the doors inside the foyer will be locked, so you will need to use the
intercom to let us know to buzz you in. However, if you arrive after 6:30pm,
then we’ll leave a note with a phone number to call as the intercom isn’t near
where the talks will be.
Enterprize provide a selection of alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks and coffee
pods for the appropriate donation, as well as free instant coffee and tea. So
come at 6:00pm, get a drink, and have a bit of a mingle before the talks start
at 6:30pm. We will also be heading out to find somewhere to eat afterwards for
those interested.
I would like to to extend a big thank you to
Enterprize for generously allowing
us to use their space to hold regular meetings.

After reviewing the feedback from members about the possibility of changing
the Hobart TasLUG meeting
day it has been
decided that meetings will now be on the second Thursday of the month
starting from April. Thank you to everyone who filled out the survey.
We will see you all at the next Hobart meeting on Thursday 11 April.

all things related to free and open source software, hardware, and culture.
- When:

Let John know if you are planning to come
along. If we hear from more than a handful of people that they are coming then
we’ll book a table, otherwise we will just rock up see what is available.
Looking forward to seeing everyone next week on Thursday.

There was recently a query about the possibility of changing the day of the
month that the Hobart TasLUG meetings are held. Given this it seemed like it
would be a good opportunity to do a general survey of when people are available
to attend meetings.
With this in mind a survey has been set up for people to fill
out. For each day of the month you can
select whether you can make it to meetings (green tick), can’t make it on that
day (red cross), or would be a maybe (amber tick in parens).
It would be great if everyone interested in attending Hobart meetings could
enter their preferences, especially if the current meetings day makes it
difficult to attend.
Please note that this survey is for informational purposes only and will only
be one factor taken into consideration when determining the best meeting day
going forward.

The end of the year is fast approaching and before everyone starts winding down for the holiday season there is one last opportunity for the Hobart TasLUG community to catch up for an end of year dinner.
- When:
- 6:30pm, Thursday 29 November
- Where:
- Amigo Mexican Restaurant
http://amigostas.com.au/menu/
If you plan on coming along, then please RSVP to John by Tuesday 27
November so he can make the appropriate booking.
If Amigos are unable to fit us in, the backup option will be Mother India just down the road.

There will be no Hobart TasLUG meeting this coming Thursday. The two speakers
we had lined up for this months meeting will both be out of the state this
Thursday and we haven’t had any time to organise anyone to replace them.
However it is getting close to the end of the year and there has been some talk
about having some sort of end of year dinner. Our current thinking is that we
have this on Thursday 29 November so as to avoid the silly season that is December.
A couple of suggestions for places to go for the dinner have been the Tacos or
Amigo’s Mexican restaurants, but please get in touch with John if you have any
other suggestions or preferences. Firmer details will be posted closer to the date.

This month is TasPubLUG time again. We will be heading to the pub to talk about
Free and Open Source software, hardware, and culture… or just to generally
hang out and having something to eat and drink. This time I’ve randomly pick
the Brunswick Hotel as the venue:
- When:
- 6:30pm, Thursday 18 October
- Where:
- Brunswick Hotel (67 Liverpool Street, Hobart)
http://brunswickhotelhobart.com.au/
If you are planning to come along (even for just a quick drink) please let John
know by Tuesday so the appropriate booking can be made if needed.
