Founded in December 1994, we have hosted a plethora of monthly meetings with talk topics ranging from "How to Configure PPP" to "How to Write Device Drivers". We usually have around 40 - 100 people at each meeting.
The ALE group is loosely organized, with a few people acting as contact points and no charter to bog things down. Anyone is welcome to come to the meetings; there is no membership, fees or any other formalities. To become a member, just show up. Our primary interest is in getting information about Linux to members of the Atlanta community.
ALE has three monthly meetings to accomodate the growing Linux Enthusiast population of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The Central meeting is held at Emory University on the second Thursday of the month. The ALE NorthEast meeting is held at Edeltacom Data Center on the first Thursday of the month. The ALE NorthWest meets the third Thursday at the Weather Channel. Directions are on the left sidebar.
ALE NW will be held this Thursday, September 21st at 7:30PM at The Weather Channel in the Windy Hill Area.
We will start as soon as everyone has arrived and been escorted to the meeting room. As always, please try to be at the office by 7:15-7:30. We will proceed upstairs at 7:30 for the meeting.
This month’s presenter will be Raylynn Knight, ALE list regular.
The topic will be:
The Hobbit Monitoring System
Please do bring your questions, and we’ll see you there this Thursday!
Raylynn did a wonderful presentation on Hobbit. I’ve attached a link to his file for your convenience:
Our presentation for September 14th will be
“How to Cheat and Win with
Clustering for Fun and Profit”
presented by
Vernard Martin
Synopsis:
Linux is the current king of the high performance clustering market.
We’ll give a short history of clustering with Linux and talk about ways
to build an enterprise class cluster on a shoestring budget.
Bio: Vernard Martin is a founding member of ALE and a Senior Problem
Wrangler for the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University
where he runs their computer server environment. He has been using
Linux longer than any sane human being would admit to and recently
retired from being a graduate student at GA Tech. He lives in Atlanta,
GA with with his cat Lietenant and of course, his own baby cluster.

We will be shooting from the hip this month doing some playing around with Cacti and network monitoring tools. Very loose and informal as always.
