Hi Everyone,

My current RH cert expires in a few months and I need to resit the exam.
Simplez you say.... errr nope! Unless I am missing something, finding an
exam venue is not really that straight forward. Does anyone know WHO
provides them relatively locally and can be booked online ? It just seems
that the information is hiding or I have just had too long of a day at
work! The only ones I can find are those that come with the course.

Cheers

Stu

Hiya.

They haven't done them since year before last it appears. They stopped
doing them in 2011, which is why i'm so bloody confused.

That's annoying. Have you tried going to Red Hat directly?

Apparently I am not the only one! There are several complains around the
web for the same issue.

However I came across this link:

http://www.europe.redhat.com/training/dates/RH255?course=EX200&country=#United%20Kingdomwhich
was posted by RH themselves after someone complained about the exact
same thing.

I mean it wouldn't kill them to put a link on the site "Book your exam
here" but the cynical side of me thinks its deliberately hidden so that you
book a course in desperation to get to sit the exam, as exams are included
with the courses.

Regards

Stu

Hello and a happy new year to all you LivLuggers!

It's time for the first Liverpool LUG meeting of 2013 on Wednesday January
9th at 7pm. I'm just confirming that LSC is available as this is not our
usual date. If not we may need to decamp to The Shipping Forecast earlier
than normal, but I think you'll all be able to live with that.

This month Sebastian is going to regale us with his tales of woe trying to
get Slackware installed on a new UEFI ultrabook. I mistakenly thought this
included secure boot but apparently he didn't have to battle that
particular dragon this time. I'm sure it will be interesting and
informative. So come along and join us. All are welcome. If you've never
been to a meeting before then don't worry, we don't bite and there is no
required technical knowledge, which is good news for me :)

Usual venue instructions apply. Ring the bell marked basement and someone
will let you in. I've included the address and a map link below:

Next to Nowhere,
Basement, 96 Bold Street,
Liverpool,
L1 4HY

Google+ Page:

Hope to see many of you there, best wishes,

Dan

Hi,

Just a quick note to say that I know I promised a VMware demo but I am
going to have to postpone it March as I need to complete my ITIL training
for the exam in early Feb and late Feb I am away on business. If the
situation changes, I shall let you know.

Regards

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for letting us know. I'm still happy to talk about OpenVZ if anyone
would like that.

Thanks

I'll try to make both Jan & March as it's stuff I've no idea about and
both fall on weeks I'm not on out-of-hours, not that I'll have something
on but a couple of times I've only remembered later in the evening that
there's a LUG going on!

Hi Stuart, 

Thanks for letting us know. I'm still happy to talk about OpenVZ if anyone would like that.

Thanks

It's the last Thursday of the month and therefore it makes it the 31st by
my reckoning.

Hi Folks,

Forgive my use of the list for blatant promotion today but I thought these
2 events may be of interest.

*Red Hat PaaS Talk*

On *Tuesday Jan 29th* Steven Citron-Pousty of Red
Hat<http://www.redhat.com/>will be at
*DoES Liverpool* on Hannover Street talking about PaaS. Platform as a
service solutions and their new OpenShift platform for deploying
applications. It looks pretty cool and it's a free lunchtime event. Midday
- 2pm. You do need to sign up via eventbrite though.

If you're interested head to - http://www.eventbrite.com/event/5329661160

I'm also told he'll be around for the GeekUp <http://geekup.org/> Liverpool
meeting that evening at DoES. It's a Clojure Dojo this time. I haven't done
anything with Clojure <http://clojure.org/> yet but it's what I hear all
the cool kids talking about these days.

------------------------------

*Linux Outlaws Live*

The second event is more personal to me. As some of you might know I
co-host a podcast called Linux Outlaws <http://linuxoutlaws>. We're coming
up to our 300th episode now. We've still got some way to go to catch the
Simpsons but hey. To celebrate this milestone we're doing it live in front
of an audience (the show that is, nothing else) at LEAF on Bold
St<http://thisisleaf.co.uk>.
We're raising money for the Software Freedom
Conservancy<http://sfconservancy.org>and all proceeds will go to a
good cause. Tickets are £5 and you can get
them via Eventbrite <http://outlawslive.eventbrite.co.uk>.

*Sunday Feb 17th - 17:00-19:00 @ LEAF On Bold St - *
http://outlawslive.eventbrite.co.uk/

Ok that's all the promo for a while. Hope one or both of these events
interest some of you. See you soon :)

Hi Matthew,

The LUG social is on this Thursday, but unfortunately Stuart won't be able
to give his talk on VMWare as he's caught up with work. I'm happy to talk
about OpenVZ and discuss VMWare. Stuart has a lot of experience with VMWare
at the large scale and can talk about the latest features, but I can at
least give you an introduction to VMWare (and most virtualisation
technologies) on Thursday.

Sounds great to me, I have experience with Vmware and Vcentre and use it
in production but I only scratch the surface of its features :)

does anyone have any experience with Open Street Maps ? I have been
tasked with setting up a Tile server which I have up and running
(Mapnik, Rendered, Mod_tile and Leaflet) another requirement is to be
able to reverse geocode from my reading this is done with Nominatim but
from what I can see you can't run them side by side on the same server?
I believe the database is formatted differently for one or the other.

Any advice would be great I'm looking to do the following

Tile Server to move away from Google
Markers on the map polygons Dots etc (I can do this with leaflet)
Reverse Gocoding Lat long to a post.

Thanks in advance

than the car.

I'm afraid not, we meet in a pub just outside the centre. It's the Rake and
Pikel in Huntington. Is that a problem for you to get to?

Subject: [Chester LUG] LUG social and future talks - your thoughts please
Message-ID: <CAC_G_sAF5OGy04h1YEcuXcBD_hx9arpTO2HxdGEQJ0PP24bTwQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,


I'm sure you don't need reminding as there have been a few emails about
this month's LUG social. But in case you've missed it, the next one is
tomorrow evening from 7.30 at the Rake & Pikel.
 I hope to see you all there.

Alongside the usual social meets, in the past we've had a few good evenings
of more formal talks. The problem stopping us holding more has always been
the venue. I've looked around several times and have managed to find some
fairly reasonable prices for room hire. However the concern has always been
the payment. I know that we generally get a good turnout for these events,
but if it's a quiet night, the few who turn up would end up having to fork
out a bit.

So one thought that has popped into my mind was to set up a small
subscription kitty of sorts. If regular members were to pay into something
we could book venues for talks with more confidence. Anyone else who comes
to the talks could put some money on the night. Obviously our socials would
still be free, but doing this would allow us to schedule more regular talks
or techie get your laptops out and do something style events.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter, would you be willing to put
in say £1/£2 a month? We could change that depending on how many people are
doing it and the cost of the venue.

Thanks

Les

I'd be happy to contribute to something like this - I think keeping it 
voluntary would be best though. I suggest you put a hat down and may be 
do a little song and dance to loosen peoples pockets :)

  Cheers,

  Dave.

Hi,

I think it is a good idea. In reality it is also probably the only way we
are going to get it to work!

Regards

Stuart

he he, I thought about handing a plate around. Well the church hasn't done
too badly out of that method!

Seriously though, thanks for your feedback.

No its fine I was just debating if the train or car would be the best
option do you have a postcode ? I presume parking isn't an issue?

Happily. £pint a month seems a bargain. May be better to keep it at a
constant amount and any reserve put toward an open day (no pun intended,
though <3 that as the name) or just making the Christmas social cheaper :)

Just outside?! You tell that to my legs!

Living near the Bache it would suit me more too (but I'm not complaining).

I'm planning on starting & finishing work an hour or so earlier so I can
have some food beforehand. I don't mind splitting a taxi from the station
if you want, though feel no obligation.
