HTML 5 for Web App Developers
HTML5 is the perhaps the biggest change in HTML since we
were first introduced to it back in the early 90's.
The lament is that HTML was frozen
in some designed-by-committee" state since the 90's.
HTML5 finally gives us a standardized way to store data
locally in the user's machine. We're not talking about
little cookies here; HTML5 offers your web application
5MB of local storage. HTML5 also introduces a
significant caching mechanism to allow offline
applications.
And there's still more. An element offering a standard
mechanism for rendering video. (No more Flash problems!)

The basic session,
another awesome...
VIM Workshop
by Bill Odum.
Files and Buffers and Windows and Tabs (and More!)
Vim provides a wealth of features for
editing several files simultaneously, arranging
them into workspaces, and then navigating among
them. Unfortunately, it's not always obvious
how to use these features, or how they all fit
together. If you've ever wondered why Vim won't
let you edit one file before saving another,
why :q! doesn't always let you quit, or why Vim's
tab pages seem so weird, then this workshop will
clear up the confusion.
Our main event will be:
mdadm
by Jeff Muse
This presentation covers mdadm, the Linux
software raid management utility.
After a brief look at RAID concepts,
we'll have an explanation of what mdadm is capable
of doing and demonstrations of it in action.
Minimize unplanned downtime due to disk failure
on your Linux systems by implementing mdadm, Linux
software RAID. (If you're not sure what RAID is,
don't worry, we'll talk about that first.)
mdadm supports most common RAID levels, costs less
than a hardware RAID controller, and can have
better performance.
Don't have a system with massive numbers of
disks to experiment with? We'll show you how to
simulate one using virtual machines!

Postfix is a Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), which is used to send email
across the Internet. It was originally written by Wietse Venema, a
security researcher at IBM. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to
administer, and secure. It was written as an alternative to Sendmail,
with a modular architecture and simpler configuration.
In this presentation, we'll take a shallow dive, looking at how Postfix
works, as well as some common configuration options.

Craig Buchek has been Chair of the STLLUG for nearly a decade. You

he's been pretty busy -- getting married, buying a house, and a
starting a couple new jobs. This week, he's excited to be starting
a new job as a Software Developer at Asynchrony Solutions.

It's fundamental to customizing the Vim interface, and it touches on
other topics (like modes and motions) that are worth reinforcing.
This will be one of many Vim geekout worksession over the next few
months. They will frequently fill the timeslot formerly used by the
basic/tutorial session. Bring your laptop and "hack along with the rest
of us trying out the commands and code as we go".

Our main event will be
An Introduction to Using Amazon Web Services
by
Scott Granneman and Jans Carton.
In 2002 Amazon changed the Internet by offering Amazon Web Services
(AWS), a collection of remote computing services that together make up a
robust, scalable, inexpensive, innovative cloud computing platform.
Ranging from storage to virtual servers to queueing, AWS now stores more
than 100 billion objects and is used by more than 500,000 developers.
In this talk, Scott Granneman and Jans Carton (bios on sluug.org) will
go over some of the major components of AWS and show you how to set up,
create, and manage them, with special attention given to EC2 (Elastic
Compute Cloud), EBS (Elastic Block Storage), and S3 (Simple Storage
Service).

Cosmic inflation: more than a theory.
The extremely rapid expansion of the universe is thought to have
occurred shortly after the Big Bang. However, the theory of inflation
bears a striking resemblance to the theory of evolution: both are really
paradigms for thinking about a scientific subject, rather than a
specific testable theory.

Revolutionary Theories : How do we test them?
The Scientific Method
by `Professor John Rigden
Science makes progress through the dynamic interplay
between empirical observations and conceptual explanations. I will
discuss four examples: three from the past and one from the present.
These examples will explicitly illustrate the scientific method which,
in turn, will implicitly suggest that methods of science rest upon some
basic human needs.

Setting up DNS Masqerading
by Jerry Stutte
dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended
to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts
DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or
forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. It loads the contents of
/etc/hosts so that local hostnames which do not appear in the global DNS
can be resolved and also answers DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts.
Jerry Stutte has worked in molecular biololgy and bio informatics.

Who Is Behind The Internet?
Patrick J. Crowley, Ph.D.
Assoc. Prof. of Computer Science and Engineering, Wash U.
Given its central role in global communications and commerce, it
is natural to wonder: who is responsible for the Internet? Who keeps it
operating, fixes it when it breaks, arbitrates disputes, enforces laws,
and funds its growth? To explore these questions, we will discuss the
uniquely collaborative and distributed nature of the Internet, along
with some of the aspects of its history and operation that help explain
why timely issues such as network neutrality manage to be both highly
contentious and commonly misunderstood.
This is a free event, but seating is limited and there are no
reservations.

Topic: Parallel Computing Using a Linux Cluster
Speaker: Prof. Sanjiv K. Bhatia and George Gerules
Background/Details/Abstract/Outline/Summary:
The clock speed of CPUs has been the big performance measure used by
the processor manufacturers in the past. However, there are limits
to the speed at which the electrons can move through the circuitry.
Lately, the computer manufacturers have been emphasizing the use
of multiple cores to increase the performance and the clock speed
has actually dropped. The new paradigm to get better performance
is based on parallel computing. There are a number of techniques
to take advantage of multiple processors that include multicore,
cluster computing, and grid computing.
Cluster computing provides us with an inexpensive way to create
a scalable parallel computer with open source software. In this
presentation, we'll talk about some basic theory behind parallel
processing and present a way to build a cluster using off the
shelf hardware. - - - And...we are meeting in the room next to
UMSL's IT Enterprise's Cluster. So take a peek!
Bios:
Sanjiv Bhatia works as an Associate Professor in Computer Science
in the University of Missouri -- St. Louis (UMSL). His area
of research is Image Databases, Digital Image Processing, and
Computer Vision. He has published several papers on image
databases, large texture generation and its use in terrain
modeling, and the application of knowledge-based techniques to
information retrieval. He is also involved in sensor simulation
and real-time target tracking. He regularly teaches classes in
Operating Systems and Parallel & Distributed Computing. He is a
member of ACM, Siggraph, and AAAI. He is also the former publisher
of SLUUG's newsletter. - - -
George Gerules has over 20 years of experience programming; this
has been mostly in C/C++, although he has programmed in Java as
well as some other languages that are now extinct. He has worked
as a consultant with Arthur Andersen in the Silicon Valley and as
a programmer with Mitek Industries in Chesterfield. Currently,
he is pursuing the M.S. degree in Computer Science at UM-St. Louis.

The Phoenix Has Landed:
Snowbird on Mars
by
Ms. Selby Cull
Washington University
NASA's Phoenix Lander spacecraft touched down in a
north polar region of Mars on May 25, 2008. Phoenix
was aptly named after the mythological bird that
rises newborn from its own ashes. The Lander?s
design was derived from the cancelled 2001 Surveyor
mission. Its instruments are improved versions of
equipment lost when the Mars Polar Lander failed
to land successfully. Phoenix landed well, and for
five months it sent back to Earth large quantities
of images and data. The first results of early
data analysis are now being reported. Ms. Cull
will talk about the discoveries Phoenix has made
and their importance to future human exploration
and to the search for life, or fossil life, on Mars.
Selby Cull is a Doctoral candidate in the Department
of Earth and Planetary Sciences

Setting up DNS Masqerading
by Jerry Stutte
dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended
to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts
DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or
forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. It loads the contents of
/etc/hosts so that local hostnames which do not appear in the global DNS
can be resolved and also answers DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts.
Jerry Stutte has worked in molecular biololgy and bio informatics.

For those trying to remember their alphabet soup...
(and anyone...please correct/comment on any of these descriptions to
better describe/correct...)
Novell eDirectory (formerly named as Novell Directory
Services but populaly known as Netware Directory Services) is an
X.500-compatible directory service software product initially released
in 1993 by Novell for centrally managing access to resources on multiple
computers within a given network. It also controls permissions on a
per userid (and group id and ...?) to objects in the directory.
Microsoft has Active Directory. 1st relesased in Windows 2000
Server edition, it claims to include LDAP, Kerberos, and DNS. (Is this
one of the sources of "embrace and extend" criticisms that MS has
(partially) used these standards but in a way that they do NOT work with
non-MS software?) In pre-release it was called NTDS (NT Directory
Service) and that nmae can still be seen compiled into some binaries.
X.500 is a a series of computer networking standards covering
electronic directory services. The X.500 series was developed by ITU-T,
formerly known as CCITT, and first approved in 1988. ISO/IEC 9594 is
the corresponding ISO identification. It was INCREDIBLY complex and was
only run on large servers.
LDAP is an implimentation of part of X.500. "Lite weight
Directory Access Protocol"...liteweight because it was stripped down to
do the more needed stuff on smaller systems and simpler to impliment.
It also worked with TCP/IP which X.500 originally did not. Open LDAP is
an Open Software version.

Introducing The Monads
Speaker: Aditya "Deech" Siram
When: 6:30 PM Wednesday 09/15/10
Where:
Announce Media
6665 Delmar Boulevard
Saint Louis, MO 63130-4544
This meeting is being sonsored by COMSYS.
Abstract:
Haskell monads do everything from mundane list processing and IO to complex functionality like fine-grained concurrent state management and parsing grammers. And because they are all monads, they have a consistent syntax making them very simple and elegant to use.
This talk will give a tourof these and other noteworthy citizens of this wonderful landscape. There will be plenty of practical code examples and no knowledge of Haskell is required.
About Aditya "Deech" Siram:
Aditya "Deech" Siram is a Java developer with the Neuroinformatics Research Group at Washington University. He's into functional programming languages, especially Haskell, and looks forward to the day he gets paid to use it.

St. Louis ALT.NET
When
Wed, September 15, 7pm . 9pm
Where
161 Long Rd. #107, Chesterfield, MO 63005 (map)
Description
Venue: International Tap House
See http://www.meetup.com/stlaltdotnet/
The ALT.NET community is a loosely coupled, highly cohesive group of like-minded individuals who believe that the best developers do not align themselves with platforms and languages, but with principles and ideas. In 2007, David Laribee created the term "ALT.NET" to explain this "alternative" view of the Microsoft development universe--a view that challenged the "Microsoft-only" approach to software development. He distilled his thoughts into four key developer characteristics which form the basis of the ALT.NET philosophy:
1. You're the type of developer who uses what works while keeping an eye out for a better way.
2. You reach outside the mainstream to adopt the best of any community: Open Source, Agile, Java, Ruby, etc.
3. You're not content with the status quo. Things can always be better expressed, more elegant and simple, more mutable, higher quality, etc.
4. You know tools are great, but they only take you so far. It's the principles and knowledge that really matter. The best tools are those that embed the knowledge and encourage the principles (e.g. Resharper.)
The St. Louis ALT.NET meetup group is a place where .NET developers can learn, share, and critique approaches to software development on the .NET stack. We cater to the highest common denominator, not the lowest, and want to help all St. Louis .NET developers achieve a superior level of software craftsmanship.
