My sincere apologies for the late notice! I have a nasty flu and probably won't be able to attend tomorrow night.
Start: Aug 2 2016 18:30
Last year, when the meetings moved earlier, I gave up. There've been lots of things I'd have loved to see. Getting there from here was a struggle at 19:00, and 18:30 was the last straw. The year before, Andrew gave a - ummm - vaguely positive response to the idea of recording or videoing some of the presentations, to be available to LUVers who can't attend. Can we have a think about what might make podcasts or streams of the meeting presentations possible? Or whether anything would make them impractical? Douglas
End: Aug 2 2016 20:30 Location: 6th Floor, 200 Victoria St. Carlton VIC 3053 Link:http://luv.asn.au/meetings/map
Speakers:
* Russell Coker, M.2 * Rodney Brown, CRCs
Russell Coker, M.2
According to Wikipedia M.2, formerly known as the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), is a specification for internally mounted computer expansion cards and associated connectors. It replaces the mSATA standard, which uses the PCI Express Mini Card physical card layout and connectors. Russell has been experimenting with M.2 cards for high-speed storage.
Russell Coker has done lots of Linux development over the years, mostly involved with Debian.
Rodney Brown, CRCs
According to Wikipedia, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is an error-detecting code commonly used in digital networks and storage devices to detect accidental changes to raw data. Blocks of data entering these systems get a short check value attached, based on the remainder of a polynomial division of their contents. CRCs are popular because they are simple to implement in binary hardware, easy to analyze mathematically, and particularly good at detecting common errors caused by noise in transmission channels.
200 Victoria St. Carlton VIC 3053
Late arrivals, please call (0490) 049 589 for access to the venue.

I record (for personal use at least) the talks at LUV - most folk seem aware of this ... However several talks are not good to listen back at as the speaker does not present in a clear manner. I have a stack of these now and listen from time to time making transcripts and picking out the new buzz words and definitions etc. It is not a co-ordinated effort and to be done well would require co-ordination and commitment...

I hadn't noticed. But if you are going to do that it would be better to have your recording device on the podium to get the best quality.
However several talks are not good to listen back at as the speaker does not present in a clear manner.
Please try and keep a positive approach. The vast majority of speakers are volunteers who do it for fun. We need to keep it fun for them. Sure you can suggest improvements but they need to be focussed on the positive and give clear ways for improvement. Also suggestions should go to the committee not to the public lists. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
