Re: [BLUG] VoIP/SIP phones at the MCP library?

Sure, you can tell them you've talked to me if anyone asks.  I'll be in a library board work session at 5:45 tonight, but let me know how it goes.

[BLUG] IU LinuxFest and Indiana LinuxFest planning

As you may be aware, Indiana University has hosted an IU LinuxFest for
the past 9 years and is again hosting IU LinuxFest at IU Bloomington
this October. Due to reorganization at IU, their sponsorship of the
annual LinuxFest is ending. Leaders from several Indiana LUGs
(including the Bloomington, Central Indiana, and Fort Wayne LUGS)
decided to start an Indiana LinuxFest to continue on the tradition of
having an annual LinuxFest in Indiana. Richard Knepper from IU would
like assistance in planning this year's IU LinuxFest and would also like
to discuss transitioning to an Indiana LinuxFest for the future. Please
let me know your availability over the next week so we can arrange a
meeting (most likely a conference call or video conference) to discuss
the future of LinuxFests in Indiana.

Hi all - if someone tries this (using the library's wireless bandwidth for SIP/VoIP) and hits a snag, please let me know.  We don't have a specific policy on this, and it's not something I'd expect our reference staff to be able to help with, but we're not intentionally blocking this type of activity, and I'd also be curious to hear if anyone tries this out.

Re: [BLUG] Linuxfest and BLUG

There is definitely interest in doing something like that.

Quite a few of us were working on gauging interest and the response
everywhere we asked was very positive.

This year we didn't gather too much steam, though we anticipate next
year—with the loss of the IU LinuxFest—there will be more of a drive.

Michael Schultheiss is maintaining indianalinux.org as a place to
gather people with interest so that we can reach each other and get
organized for it.

Hope you're all having a great day! I just finished the last class of
my school year, a history of computing class, and we just finished
watching Revolution O.S.

WooHoo for summer!
