Hi everyone,
Thanks again for having me, I had a great time as usual. I synced up the
audio we captured with the slides and posted it all on my blog:
http://blog.iank.org/your-food-is-always-outside-of-you.html
Here's the slides (PDF): http://iank.org/ncsulug_fa14.pdf
and here's the references I used

Hello, LUGgers,
Sorry for the late decision. Tonight's dinner is at Kabab and Curry,
the Indian/Nepalese place on Hillsborough Street.
Where: 2418 Hillsborough Street, Raleigh, NC 27606
When: Tuesday, November 11, 2014
For newcomers, keep in mind that the LUG does not pay for dinner -
everyone pays for what they order. But if the restaurant isn't busy,
they shouldn't mind if you just hang out with us and maybe have a
beverage.
Thanks,

Message-ID: <CAPm8Nr1p6WBQ-5theBj7gUbTAfV0dgo2xLgrA3DcVL3U2nFW-g@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Topic: The State of Open Source Bookkeeping
Presenter: Eric Leary
When: Thursday, 13th November 2014, 7pm (pizza from 6.45pm)
Where: NC State Engineering Building I Room 1007, Centennial Campus
Parking: The parking decks and Oval Drive street parking are free after 5pm
Map: Google Maps
Sponsor:Apex Systems
Synopsis:
=========
The domain of financial record keeping could greatly benefit from new
open source projects that provide accounting software solutions for
the small to medium enterprise. The current offerings don't fulfill
contemporary requirements, are often buggy and moribund in the
maintenance of the code base, or are intractable to implement without
extensive commitment from third party developers.
Quickbooks Online and Xero accounting will be held up as
representative targets from the commercial world that the open source
community should pursue with competitive products and frameworks. The
talk will delve into GnuCash and other open source offerings, showing
their strengths and weaknesses in today's world.
Bio:
=========
Eric is not an accountant, he is a bookkeeper. He has been using
Quickbooks for over 17 years in a wide range of industries, but he is
drawn to Python and Open Source for some strange reason. I think he
would prefer to give it all up and go back to theater set design, but
such is life.
Sponsor:
=========

Subject: Talk on Machine Learning on 11/18
Message-ID: <CAO6OnT751=uNa=WetNhW+0pVxizR2UfwjaakYPh6=JYfhxPV7Q@mail.gmail.[redacted]>
Hey all,
the end of the semester is nearing, and we're glad to announce another
GREAT talk: Barry Peddycord III will give a an easy introduction to Machine
Learning on Tuesday.
Here's his summary:
I'll be presenting a quick talk on some of the basic principles and
techniques in machine learning. I'll be talking about how to learn a
decision tree, the basics of clustering, and (if there's time) maybe even
scratch the surface of natural language processing!
This should be fun! This is designed to be a beginner-level talk, so no
prerequisites are needed to take anything away from the presentation.
When: Tuesday, 11/18/2014, 7pm
Where: EB2, 1229
It's going to be an awesome talk, so make sure to be there! Also, as usual
every semester, we'll have elections on movie night, which is scheduled for
12/2. After Barry's talk we'll start taking nominations for officer
positions! If you want to get more involved with the LUG, this is a great
opportunity (and it doesn't look bad on your CV, either)!
