Last weekend I attended the August 2008 LAN Party<\/a> hosted by the Ubuntu NJ folks. There were two parties, one in North Jersey and the one I attended in Cherry Hill, across the bridge from Philadelphia. I got a bit lost on my way out (oops) but arrived shortly after 5 for BBQ and a few good hours of Urban Terror<\/a>. The North Jersey contingent hosted the server on a huge server with a nice internet connection, and Joe<\/a>‘s FiOS gave us a nice pipe for being connected to them. Jim<\/a> provided the all important Oreo Cake<\/a> and Brian<\/a> supplied us with… relatives? Yep, halfway through the first Urban Terror match I made the comment “what’s with all the Quigs?” He brought two of his brothers along to the party, wicked.<\/p>\n

More photos are over on the Ubuntu-US-PA gallery: 20080823 – Ubuntu-US-NJ LAN Party, Cherry Hill<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also Armagetron<\/a> fun to be had, but I ended up bailing on that to chill out for a bit on the sidelines, eat some cake, and take some photos. All in all, a very fun night – excellent work guys!<\/p>\n

Also in local Linux stuff, I mused aloud<\/a> recently about the need for a PLUG<\/a> logo. I didn’t expect a response, so I was delighted when fellow PhillyChix<\/a> member Stephanie Fox<\/a> messaged me to offer her design skills for a logo. She pulled through brilliantly! In less than 2 weeks she had an amazing Ben Franklin Tux logo that everyone in the LUG was happy to embrace (even if they did bicker about licensing<\/a>).<\/p>\n

While I was at it, I also created a LinkedIn group for PLUG<\/a> (wow, up to almost 40 members!)<\/p>\n

I now have my first Full Circle Magazine<\/a> article out there. It’s a column for the Ubuntu Women<\/a> team on how to get women in your life involved in Ubuntu. Download here<\/a>, my article is on page 29. Unless you want the cliffnotes version, which is: “Just like anyone else, we’re humans too!” <\/p>\n

I also did two releases of the LedgerSMB .deb on Alioth<\/a> on the tails of the 1.2.15 release this week. I finally made the decision to include postgres 8.3 support in the .deb with a 1.2.15-2 release I deployed Thursday night since they’re so close to Official support within the core LedgerSMB project and I had a request for support in the package. I’ve deployed it on a testvm at work and it’s chugging along nicely. I was also nudged by Fabian Rodriguez<\/a> after my last LedgerSMB post, he pointed me in the direction of Bug 150374: [needs-packaging] ledgersmb get added to the repositories<\/a>, which has some folks interested. Hopefully this will go somewhere and I won’t continue to be the sole packager in Debian, and getting it in Ubuntu too? Even better!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
