moin moin,
Murph will cover tmux for us and Arun will cover OpenWRT.
The meeting is online in a BigBlueButton instance starting at 19:00 AZ
time ( UTC -7 )
https://lufthans.bigbluemeeting.com/plu-yuk-7xx
https://gettogether.community/events/71316/east-valley-meeting/
After the meeting we will be discussing a return to in person meetings for
PLUG presentations. Show up if you'd like to participate.
Talk descriptions and speaker bios:
* tmux
tmux is a terminal multiplexer, a tool that makes working on the command
line better and easier.
It can allow you to work across connections, and to get multiple
views/shells on the computers that you are using.
Murph will show how it works, how to install it on popular systems, and
how to use it.
* OpenWRT
Most "router" devices have firmware updates for 2-3 years. Beyond that,
the user has two choices (a) continue using the device without any
security updates, or (b) buy a new device. Besides, the typical feature
set in consumer-grade devices is limited.
In this presentation, we will go over how OpenWrt can help you resurrect
older WiFi APs and Gateway devices and more ...
1. Rejuvenating EOL router devices with OpenWrt.
2. Typical use cases for a Router / Gateway / WiFi APs.
3. Deployment options - As a dedicated device, VM, or a Container.
4. Official OpenWrt images - selection, installation, and post-installation due diligence.
5. Extending the base functionality with a whole lot more, with OpenWrt packages.
6. DIY or Commercial products (based on OpenWrt).
7. Resources for help.
8. Q&A
* Murph
Murph has spoken several times for PLUG ( screen, the Fediverse ) and
speaks at conferences on both coasts and the middle of the US
Some conferences include: SCaLE, SeaGL, Penguin Con, Ohio Linux Fest and
HOPE.
* Arun
Arun Khan has been using *nix-like OS (at a professional level) since
1983 at Bell Labs and with Linux since c. 1995 when he started his IT
consulting practice providing solutions, services, and training to small
businesses (mostly Open Source based).
He has been a Linuxer since the early days (Slackware, Debian, RedHat
Linux, Mandrake, Caldera, S.u.S.E, ..., etc.), when crafting X.org files
the correct HSync, and VSync parameters for monitors for X Windows used to
be the norm.
He hung out with the Linux admins at the Fermi Labs DC (IL) and learned a
lot about Linux admin from the gurus.
He has evangelized Linux in several forums since the mid-1990s (talks at
conferences, helping users at installfests, mailing list forums, etc.).
He was the Linux SIG chair at the Chicago Computer Society.
He was lucky enough to have met (in person) a few of the OpenSource
stalwarts like Linus Torvalds, Eric Raymond, Mark Shuttleworth, Bob Young,
and Mark Ewing.
Today, one of his interests is open-source solutions in small devices for
the SOHO domain.
He will be talking about leveraging OpenWrt for the SOHO.
ciao,
der.hans
