Start: Aug 20 2016 12:30 End: Aug 20 2016 16:30 Location: Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond Link: http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map This hands-on presentation and tutorial with Wen Lin will introduce the various types of file sharing in Linux - from the more traditional NFS & Samba to the newer cloud-based ones like Dropbox, Google Drive and OwnCloud. The primary audience of the talk will be for beginners (newbies), but hopefully some of you who are familiar with Linux will get something out of it as well. Wen doesn't claim to be an expert in all things file-sharing in Linux, but likes to share his understanding and thoughts about this topic and also some of his recent practical experience in sharing files with a Linux computer using smartphones and tablets. The hands-on tutorial section of the talk will be "How to turn a Raspberry Pi into a Low-Power Network Storage Device" Wen is currently the Treasurer of LUV. He has been in the IT profession for about 25 years, primarily in the system admin area - both Windows and Linux. He started to be active in the Free & Open Source Community in 2004, inspired by the first Software Freedom Day in Melbourne. Nowadays at work Wen is using RHEL. In his own time, his distros of choice are Ubuntu/Xubuntu, followed by Fedora & CentOS. For non-OS software, LibreOffice is one that he has spent a fair bit of time with. Recently he has also been fascinated with the wonder of Raspberry Pi. Wen has a particular interest in introducing friends to using Linux and FOSS, quite often breathing new life into old Windows PCs after converting them to Linux. There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop if you need help with a particular issue. This will now occur BEFORE the talks from 12:30 to 14:00. The talks will commence at 14:00 (2pm) so there is time for people to have lunch nearby.
