SELF's call for speakers ends Saturday 4/25 at 11:59 PM ET. I'd encourage
anybody interested to submit a talk. We do go a bit out of our way to try
to help bring up local FOSS talent in LUGs throughout the southeast. So
even if you only experience was a nervous talk in front of your local LUG
... c'monnn submit it. You have nothing to lose. Submit here:
http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org/?p=1250
Secondly, if anybody is interested in helping out a bit with SELF,
particularly when it comes to representing us at local events (LUG
meetings, local tech group meetings, local conferences) we'd love to hear
from you. We call these people Ambassadors. In exchange for doing a bit
of local leg work to represent SELF, we send you swag/goodies and maybe
even fly you expenses paid to awesome events like the Southern California
Linux Expo (SCaLE) to help run our booth there. Or if those bright lights
are a bit much, and you're just interested in volunteering, we'd love to
hear from you as well. Either way, shoot an email to
info@southeastlinuxfest.[redacted]
Thanks for your time, and hope to see you in June!

Hello, LUGgers,
Tomorrow night is our election meeting and movie night! We'll have
elections first, so if that's all you're interested in, you can drop
by for the start and leave after they're done. Then, we'll have the
movie! (There might be snacks.)
Where: Engineering Building II, room 1227
When: Tuesday, April 21, 2015, at 7:00 PM
The officer nominations are unchanged from last time.
Caitlin Chestna (countingstars25) for President or VP
Quentin Young (albatron) for President, VP, PR, or Treasurer
Ian Kilgore (ik) for PR
Daniel Glassey (SperRhal) for Treasurer, or VP if absolutely necessary
We have not quite settled on a movie for after the business is over -
discussion is ongoing in the #ncsulug IRC channel, if you have a
suggestion. We're considering The Imitation Game, Tron: Legacy, and a
few others.
Thanks,
Matthew Frazier

Hello, LUGgers!
After realizing that we can't have food in EB2 1227, we have moved the
Elections and Movie Night to EB2 3001 - the conference room on the
bridge connecting the two halves of EB II. It's still at 7:00 PM
tonight. We're still going to have elections first and then watch the
movie afterwards. (We're probably gonna pool money together to order
pizza for the movie.)
We've also selected our movie - The Imitation Game. It's [loosely]
based on the biography of Alan Turing, the man who spearheaded
breaking the Nazi Enigma code during WWII and basically invented
computer science.
See you all tonight!
Thanks,
Matthew Frazier

Hello, LUGgers!
I accidentally mistyped Caitlin's nick as "jdpage," because jdpage was
talking while I was typing that email. The correct list of new
officers with their nicks is:
President - Caitlin Chestna (countingstars25)
Vice President - Quentin Young (albatron)
PR Officer - Ian Kilgore (ik)
Treasurer - Daniel Glassey (SperRhal)

Message-ID: <555B4F00.4040103@ubuntu.[redacted]>
Hello everyone,
Ubuntu is sponsoring the South East Linux Fest this year in Charlotte
North Carolina, and as part of that we will have a room to use all day
Friday, June 12, for an UbuCon.
http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org/
I'm recruiting speakers to fill an hour-long slot, if anybody is willing
and able to attend the conference and wants to give a presentation to a
room full of enthusiastic Ubuntu users, please let me know. Topic can be
anything Ubuntu related, design, development, client, cloud, using it,
community, etc.

Topic: Meeting 11 June: Open Source Your Phone!
Presenter: Randy Barlow
When: Thursday, 11 June 2015 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm (6:45pm for pizza)
Where: NC State Engineering Building II Room TBD, Centennial Campus, Raleigh, NC
Parking: The parking decks and Oval Drive street parking are free after 5pm

Synopsis
Freedom and convenience are often at odds, especially in the modern
world of cloud computing and mobile devices. This talk will present
the speaker's journey from using a largely closed source, closed
protocol mobile platform to a much more free and open mobile operating
system. Due to the relationship between mobile and cloud computing, a
significant portion of the journey involved choosing free software for
the server side as well. Many challenges were faced along the way!
This talk will discuss the various free client and server software
components that were necessary to protect the speaker's privacy and
freedom, while maintaining a comparable level of service to that which
was enjoyed before. A few alternatives to these choices will also be
discussed, and during the Q+A session suggestions for competing
software will be welcomed.
Bio
Randy Barlow is a software engineer at Red Hat, Inc. He currently
works on the Pulp Project, a component of Red Hat Satellite 6 that
performs software repository management. He has been working with
Python since 2006 and has also worked with C++, Java, and PHP prior to
that. His experience includes scientific computing, natural language
processing, systems management, and web development. He is a Linux
geek and loves free software.
