[interlug-list]

HI All,

This announcement is from the Hamilton Open Source User Group mailing
list.  Reposted for your pleasure.  


To all Open Source Software Enthusiasts: 

As discussed last month, HOSUG's January meeting is set for Tuesday,
January 10th from 7:00pm-10:00pm.  It is once again in the Variety room
next to the Staricase Café Theatre.

This month's agenda includes:

Administrative
==============
Installfest planning - the situation so far
Upcoming presentations

Technical
=========
We have two fun presentations again this month:

1) Wireless Router Hacks - Presented by "Ward River".  This presentation
will cover a few non-traditional uses for a wireless router. Ward will
show you how ordinary, off-the-shelf devices can be given new meaning
through F/LOSS.

2) Simon will discuss and demonstrate a nifty monitoring utility called
"Cacti", which you can use to help manage devices on your network and
plot interesting facts about your system.  Cacti is Open Source
software, uses common Open Source components and runs from a Linux/UNIX,
Windows or OS X host system.

As always, please pass the word about the next meeting to folks who are
not yet on the mailing list.  Adding your email address to the mailing
list can be done with a request to "hosug-OWtkGUu/0bDYtjvyW6yDsg at public.gmane.org" or by signing up on
