A local startup is seeking part-time work. The job involves both front- and
back-end work with django. Familiarity with celery, rabbit-mq, and other
python tools is a plus. Experience with AWS is desirable.

Salary and hours are flexible.

Please contact me if you would like more information.

Thanks,

Hello, LUGgers,

We have an exciting talk lined up for next week! Leslie Carr, an
engineer at Cumulus Networks, will be demonstrating the power and
flexibility unlocked by running Linux directly on your network
switches. In her words:

"Cumulus Linux throws away the idea that your network gear has to be
treated specially. It lets you manage and automate your network the
same way you manage the rest of your data center. First, I will show
how to deploy a switch from scratch, using Puppet modules and zero
touch provisioning. Second, I will demonstrate using the switch as an
installation server and Puppet master. Last, I will display another
benefit of thinking of the switch as a server: writing your own
software for your switches. All code will be available on GitHub."

Where: Engineering Building II, room 1227
When: Tuesday, March 31, 2015

(About the speaker: Leslie Carr is a long-time network engineer who
became enthralled by automation when she joined the Wikimedia
Foundation. Her past experience includes Google, Craigslist, and
Twitter.)

We hope to see you there!

Thanks,
Matthew Frazier

Message-ID: <CAMjyYxo7u=jCy6xwbJeeDQr7SspEXNEeX8PwURTMP8z5tVmnLQ@mail.gmail.[redacted]>

Hello, LUGgers,

For next week's meeting, we have Ian Kilgore (ik), LUG member and
Ph.D. student in the ECE department here at State. Ian's talks are
always entertaining and mind-expanding, so it's definitely worth
coming out if you have the chance! He can describe the talk better
than I can:

"I'm going to talk about non-linear dynamics and chaos, and what that
says about fundamental limits on our ability to predict and control
physical phenomena- Limits imposed not by physical law (e.g. quantum
uncertainty), but by mathematical truth.

We study linear systems because they're easy (and to some extent
they're easy because we study them). A huge body of mathematical
techniques exist to simplify analysis. The problem is almost nothing
is really linear, and in an astonishing variety of systems small
approximations blow up into huge errors.

We'll talk about the theoretical unpredictability of many
deterministic systems as well as the power of finding low-dimensional
behaviour in apparently infinite-dimensional random systems.

Keeping in mind that math is about ideas rather than numbers or
formulas, this will be a heavily mathematical talk, but you might not
notice. It should be accessible to people without a technical
background. There will be almost no formulas on the slides, or even
words. Instead, I'll talk us through a series of figures which, taken
together, should give us a picture of some of the profound
consequences of this relatively recent scientific revolution."

When: Tuesday, April 7, 2015, at 7:00 PM
Where: Engineering Building II, room 1227

In addition, this meeting will open the LUG election season with
officer nominations. We have four officers which keep the LUG running
- President (which I'll be vacating with my graduation this May), Vice
President, PR Officer, and Treasurer. Nominations are open to all
students who are members of the LUG (which practically means "have
shown up to at least one meeting").

If you'd like to run, you can come to the meeting and nominate
yourself, or send in the nomination by email after the meeting. The
elections will happen on April 21, before the semiannual LUG Movie
Night. For more details, see our Constitution:
https://github.com/ncsulug/ncsulug-constitution/blob/master/constitution.md

See you Tuesday!

Hi everyone, I had a great time speaking as usual. thanks for having me. Slides are online here: http://iank.org/ncsulug_sp15.pdf

Code/figures here: most of it is MATLAB but the code generating the fractal basins in newton's method is python.

Hi lug members,

This weekend hackday is confirmed for Mann 304 so come on out. We'll mainly be working on configuring our new lug server so if you're interested be sure to come over.

Message-ID: <CAMjyYxqSjZEV2ZgaNUjmX9vN2O25n3N3iVfwooTPyF+yxT+r_g@mail.gmail.[redacted]>

Hello, LUGgers!

This morning, we deployed a brand new used server! It's living at
char.csc.ncsu.edu, but there's nothing on it yet. (So don't try to log
in.) I'd like to thank Carlos Benavente from CSC IT for helping me
rack the new server and registering it with IPAM and RHN. And I'd
especially like to thank TriLUG for giving us the server in the first
place.

So, tomorrow at the hack day (12pm-8pm in Mann Hall), we'll get
started setting it up with all sorts of fun stuff! Specifically, we're
going to use it to host a new, more reliable Web site, an Identity
Management domain for LUG services, and some sort of IRC logger for
our #ncsulug and #ncsulug-business IRC channels.

You can view the full plans for what we're going to do with it in this
Google Doc - http://go.ncsu.edu/nmyy89. If you have any suggestions
for what else we can do with our new infrastructure, or advice on any
of the stuff I haven't figured out yet, let us know in IRC. And
definitely come to the hack day tomorrow to help out!

Thanks,
Matthew Frazier
