Finals

[jwflory]

I could present on configuration management with Ansible as part of @icflournoy's Cloud topic (#98). I created a short presentation on it for a final project last semester. I could expand on the config management background that I omitted in this version of the presentation.

[tinywombat765]

I would like to give a talk on the Rust programming language.

[Tjzabel]

@zethra great! Does either March 22 or March 29 work for you to fit in with our Programming theme?

[tinywombat765]

Either should work.

[Tjzabel]

@zethra great! I put you in for March 22. When the time comes closer (or if you know now), let me know if you would like this talk to be interactive / have a workshop.

Also, let me know if you would like to change the Title or Brief.

[ct-martin]

@icflournoy how does this sound for the intro/sec cloud talk?

Come learn about the layers that make up "The Cloud" & the security concerns at each of those layers.

[jibby0]

Would anyone be interested in a talk on ZFS for Up and Coming Tech?

Could throw some other interesting/new/experimental filesystems in there too (btrfs, maybe even ReFS and AppleFS), how they compare to the oldies (FAT) and common journaled filesystems (NTFS, ext4, etc.). Or make it a general FS talk. I don't think we've had one of those since Nate Levesque's.

[Tjzabel]

@jibby0 I would be interested!

[jibby0]

@Tjzabel Cool! I'd be happy to do that on March 8th then. :smile:

[ct-martin]

Note to self: multiple requests for a Jekyll/Build-A-Website workshop. I might be able to do this in April

[Tjzabel]

Potential idea for April 26th: mini-presentations on projects we are presenting at imagineRIT the next day on the 27th.

[ct-martin]

I have written in the following talks/workshops for April:

Apr 5: Building a website in Jekyll (cc @nlMeminger, @jwflory ) Apr 12: FOSS in Interactives Apr 19: State of FOSS tools in Design & Creativity Apr 26: ImagineRIT prep/demos

cc @RITlug/eboard-current

Spring semester meetings are finally over. I would like to thank everyone who presented at the club this semester.
