Hants LUG February Meeting @ IBM Hursley February 6, 2010

We have again been invited to IBM and so our next meeting on the 6th of February will be at IBM Hursley Labs. Anton needs to have an idea of how many people to expect so he can brief security. As with last time entrance and exit times will be "less flexible" than a Southampton meeting but I hope this is offset by the excellent meeting that will take place there and everyone will want to be there from start to finish anyway.

If you think you are going to the meeting please email Anton now so he can work with IBM security:

We hope to have some talks and space for a normal bring a box meeting. If you fancy giving a talk in the fantastic Hursley Hall please let Anton or myself know and we'll try to fit you in... We have two talk ideas at the moment, LVM/RAID and desktop virtualisation.

IBM will allow WiFi access for us, by MAC address numbers if I recall, but they don't allow wired access and they don't allow us to bridge their open WiFi network to our wired one. You are welcome to bring a box with wireless access and a wired one is allowed but won't be able to connect to anything outside.

For lunch there is the excellent club which will be more than happy to sell us food and beer. If you want to bring your own they didn't complain last time, Anton will confirm the rules this time as I think it will be cooler and people will want to be inside rather than outside I expect.

It is possible to get to Hursley by train and bus but if possible can people car-pool where possible so that everyone gets a chance to see the excellent location.
