The ninth annual BarCamp Grand Rapids will be on Friday, August 22 and Saturday, August 23, 2014 at Calvin College?s DeVos Communications Center. To register and attend for free, visit: http://barcampgr.org/register/ New to BarCampGR or want more information? Read on! What is BarCampGR? BarCamp is about meeting interesting people, talking about what you want to talk about, and listening to what you're interested in. Subjects of discussion have ranged from web programming and digital photography to computer vision and turkey basting. (No, there wasn't a talk on having a computer visually monitor your turkey, but if you've tried it, you're welcome to report on your experiences!) You see, the talks are not set beforehand, it's you, the attendees, who give BarCampGR direction and content. What's the format? Presentations are 25 minutes long, with five minutes in between. You're welcome to sit in on a presentation or hang around in the lounge and talk; it's all the same with us. If you run a presentation, we don't care how you run it - so long as you don't get us in trouble! Give a monologue, a Q&A or a round table; it's your topic, your presentation, your audience. If people didn't want to spend 25 minutes on your topic, they wouldn't be there. Don't know what to talk about? Certainly you have some relatively unique experiences. What do you do for a hobby? What's something you managed to fix that you're proud of? It doesn't matter if the height of your accomplishment is changing your car's oil or if you've war-driven half of the Grand Rapids area; if people are interested, they will show up at your talk. If they aren?t interested, they will probably attend one of the other talks during that time. But I'm not an expert! Sure you are! If you know the first thing about a subject, you know more than people who don't. And, yes, people who know more than you will probably attend your presentation. Interact with them; you both have something to learn from each other. Chances are, if you're both really interested in a subject, you'll find yourselves looking for each other in the lounge, later. But perhaps you're... Shy? That's fine. Come on in, take a look around and get a feel for things. It's a two-day event; come by on Friday, sit in on the presentations which interest you or hang around in the lounge and network with other people. Perhaps you'll be inspired to talk about something later, or on Saturday. You never really know. If you'd like to be able to listen, but don't know if you'll have anything to say, you can still... Help Out On the days of the event itself, we typically need greeters, people to babysit the facility overnight (some folks stay overnight), people to respond to technical issues such as "why won't the projector work with my laptop" and "could someone turn down the lights so we could see the screen?" We also have a subreddit again this year, r/BarCampGR. Use it to ask for certain subjects to be covered. Use it to offer subjects that you can talk about. During the event, use it to have almost-live discussions about things with people who aren't immediately present. After the event, use it to post supplemental materials and ask followup questions. We have a lot of other ways you can keep up to date on BarCampGR news and updates via the following social media outlets: * Website: http://barcampgr.org * Campers Email List: http://lists.barcampgr.org/listinfo.cgi/campers-barcampgr.org * Twitter: @barcampgr * Subreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/BarCampGR/ * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/BarCampGR/112347402141619 * Google+: https://plus.google.com/b/116952079842867940611/ * IRC: #barcampgr on Freenode * LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/company/479534?trk=tyah Also, if you'd like to help us organize BarCampGR, then sign up for the BarCampGR Organizers' Email Group and jump right into the conversation at http://lists.barcampgr.org/listinfo.cgi/organizers-barcampgr.org REGISTRATION http://barcampgr.org/register/ LOCATION DeVos Communications Center at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI SCHEDULE Friday, August 22, 2014 5:00-6:00 PM - Check-in and setup 6:00-7:00 PM - Dinner 7:00 PM - Kick things off with opening session 7:30-9:30 PM - Sessions every 1/2 hour 9:30 PM - After party Overnight 10:00 PM-whenever the next morning - Camping, all-night hacking, etc. Midnight BBQ There will be plenty of room to crash on Friday night, so bring a sleeping bag. Better yet, bring a tent for the geek base camp. You can also reserve clean, close accommodations at Calvin College?s Prince conference Center (http://www.calvin.edu/prince/accommodations/). Saturday, August 23, 2014 9:00-10:00 AM - Continental Breakfast 10:00 AM-12:00 PM - Sessions every 1/2 hour 12:00-1:00 PM - Lunch 1:00-2:00 PM - 5 minute Lightning Talks 2:00-4:00 PM - Sessions every 1/2 hour 4:00-4:30 PM - Closing session 4:30-5:30 PM - Cleanup * Note, despite the 'bar' in BarCampGR, the event doesn't take place in a bar, only the (optional) Friday after-party does. -- :wq From mikemol at gmail.com Thu Jul 24 08:54:26 2014 From: mikemol at gmail.com (Michael Mol) Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2014 08:54:26 -0400 Subject: [GRLUG] Friday After Five Message-ID: We here at Virtual Interconnect are hosting the Grand Rapids Linux User's Group for weekly socials.

Message-ID: <20e51b6c-4942-46dc-8442-4aa3dccd1a80@email.android.com> So, at Friday After Five, there will be a few laptops being actively serviced. One is a personal laptop my son poured out a glass of water on. It's dried out now, but won't energize. Goal is to fix it if possible, recover data if not. Second is a personal laptop that has an old, likely broken Gentoo install on it. If the above laptop can be fixed, I'll be fixing this install. If not, I'll be recovering data and installing xubuntu on it. The third is my work laptop. It's a Lenovo Yoga 13 that just came back from repair, and I need to put Linux back on it. (Before sending it in, I wiped all the Linux partitions, as that's where all the sensitive data was.) This will be a fun one, as it's a UEFI machine. Previously, I used Ubuntu and an unsigned bootloader. This time, I'll be using Gentoo and a signed bootloader. (And Gentoo+LUKS, which I haven't done before.) I've got other project boxes waiting in the wings, but these are my most urgent ones, and I figured GRLUG FaF would be a great context. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Just look at /proc/cpuinfo, "cpu cores" will show the number of physical cores. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It appears that there are currently three ways to do P2V: 1) VMWare Converter (commercial product, free trial) 2) VirtualBox MergeIDE & convertfromraw 3) Disk2VHD from Microsoft It really looks like Disk2VHD is the better solution, .. can anyone confirm?
