Iguana macks has officially changed their name to Social Box. We will still be meeting at the same location but the business has changed their name.
On a hopfully good note, they are also supposed to be changing their menu to be more in line with what Iguana Macks had when it first opened. If that turns out to be true, the quality of the food could get a significant improvement. (not that is was bad before)
See you there this Tuesday.

Abstract: Sensu is an open source project that makes a custom monitoring system easy to configure. The Sensu stack consists of RabbitMQ, Redis, and Sensu itself.
