Cndnsd Vrsn: 4:00 Wednesday December 2 ACS Rm 123 - Y2K
After a four-month hiatus, FRUUG is back with a meeting well-suited
to the holiday season: Year 2000-- the Inflexible Deadline. Evi
Nemeth, of the Computer Science faculty at the University of Colorado,
will tell us a few of the stories we haven't heard about the
Y2K problem. It turns out that Year 2000 isn't the only date
we have to worry about, and she'll talk about the status of "special"
dates on the various flavors of UNIX systems that are available today.
Evi will tell us war stories about testing for Y2K compliance, and
some of the surprising places that problems have been found. They
aren't where you think they are, and she'll tell us some of the
particular issues of embedded systems.
Evi's talk is part of the "Hot New Topics in System Administration"
tutorial she'll be presenting (with Trent Hein) at the USENIX
LISA conference in Boston the following week. Evi would like
to present what she knows about the Y2K problem and then engage
the FRUUG audience in a Q/A and discussion session where more
war stories are apt to surface.
The next meeting of the Front Range UNIX Users Group will be in room 123 of the
CU Academic Computing Center building at Arapahoe and Marine Streets in Boulder.
Marine St intersects Arapahoe at 38th St; the Computing Center is on the southwest corner.
Our last meeting was so long ago we can't remember what we did.
See the previous meetings page on the Fruug web site for more detail.
Fruug future plans are:
-
