[JOB] Positions available at Adknowledge
by Jeffrey Watts 05 Sep '12

05 Sep '12

Hello, my team is looking for another Senior Linux Administrator to join our team in Kansas City (Plaza area). Our company is an almost all-Linux shop (mixture of SLES and RHEL) working in the realm of online advertising. It's a fast paced, high tech, and high competency environment and we're looking for another admin to join our team. If you're looking to work with other high performers and some of the latest technology, Adknowledge might be a great fit for you. I'm not a recruiter - I work on the team and I'm sending this out because I want to find a high quality teammate. If you have questions please let me know. I believe relocation help may be available if you know someone out of state. We get to work with a lot of different technologies and have considerable technical freedom. We're not burdened by the endless meetings, paperwork, and processes that you find at large companies. We do a lot of actual work, we do it quickly, and we have a lot of fun. Many people on our team are married with kids and we're all professional and reliable - flakes and incompetent people aren't tolerated. Apply online at http://www.adknowledge.com/about/careers<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eadknowledge%2Ecom%2…>. Look in the Kansas City location, the job title is "Sr. Linux Administrator". Please input my name when applying online and send me a resume directly as well. The job description and more details can be found here: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1…<http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftbe%2Etaleo%2Enet%2FNA7%…> Also, several of our developer teams are also looking for more folks. There's a special need for competent Java developers, but I believe folks with expertise in PHP, C, Python, and Perl are also desired. I interact daily with those teams, so if you have questions please email me directly. Here are links to the relevant job descriptions: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… We're also looking for a QA Engineer and a Microsoft SQL Server DBA: https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… https://tbe.taleo.net/NA7/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=ADKNOWLEDGE&cws=1… I'd like to add that most of these positions are new positions and not backfills. Adknowledge is a growing company and has ambitious plans for the future. No doom and gloom around here. Thanks, Jeffrey.

Fwd: SequreISP an ISP's management software as GPL
by Billy Crook 08 Aug '12

08 Aug '12

An ISP-grade Libre web front-end to iptables/netfilter and GNU+Linux advanced routing and traffic shaping (LARTC) has been released. I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds pretty sweet and worthy of sharing. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Luciano Ruete <luciano.ruete(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, Aug 7, 2012 at 3:00 PM Subject: [Announce] SequreISP an ISP's management software as GPL To: netfilter(a)vger.kernel.org Hi all, This is a one time announce. >From about 12 years from now I (and my company) have worked with small/medium ISPs or WISPs, always using Linux as the core router for bandwidth management, QoS and load balancing. As for 3 years from now we have started to work in a product now called SequreISP[0], which is a final solution for small/medium ISPs, that now is at a very stable state, and the proof is it's been used for more than 200 ISPs in more than 10 different countries worldwide[1]. With a range of clients up to 5000 per ISP, that is currently our mayor success case (in a single server), but we think this can grow up to 10000 or 15000 as well. SequreISP allows to do bandwidth management, QoS, load balancing (current record is 40 ADSL lines in single server) and a lot more all from a comfortable web interface (like a router) which is written in Ruby on Rails. At a low level it generates tc(htb,sfq) queues and ip ro/iptables commands. SequreISP comes with a core which has all the technicals features, which has been open sourced about more than a year ago with a AGPLv3 License. You can check the project page at github[2]. As you can quickly verify, the public repo has been keep up to date, with commits almost every day, and that's because it is our main repo as well. All user interface is fully available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as the in-line documentation. There is also a commercial version of SequreISP, that comes with several modules adding extra(administrative) functionalities like a invoicing tools, notifications(via captive portal), videocahe, help desk, among others. We have a growing community of commercial SequreISP users, but unfortunately there is no growing community from open source users and developers as well. So this email is an open invitation for this to change. As a sysadmin and developer i can assure you that SequreISP solves a lot of complex problems with a neat and effective approach. So if you are an ISP sysadmin or owner I really suggest you to give it a try. If you are also a developer you can contribute with the project and the community, and you can even make money from this, ie. writing your own plug-in and selling it to our existing client database (like in an app store). There is a lot of engineering and effort behind SequreISP and it is a shame and a waste that a lot of people are not using it simply because they don't know that it exists. We are going to be also giving some SequreISP free conferences in August, in Buenos Aires[3], São Paulo[4] and Budapest[5] (following Ubiquiti World Conference scheduling, in order to ease access), so if you're going to this Ubiquiti events, or simply like to know us, consider yourself invited. Thank you all for your time.

whimsy: sleep as version control check-in
by David Nicol 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

In a continuous improvement paradigm, what granularity does one check in? Are rollbacks possible in real life, outside of prices in walmart commercials? At the granularity of Day, in which a day is an application one installs on rising, operates for many hours, and then saves to persistent storage and shuts down, where does this metaphor intersect with version control? Please discuss. (or flame off-list) -- "Don't believe everything you read on the internet just because there's a picture with a quote next to it" -- Xunzi, 241 B.C.

Introduction and a request for a git workshop
by Ross Cooney 07 Aug '12

07 Aug '12

Hi LUG members! I live in the UK and I am member of a local LUG in the North East of England. I travel to KC regularly and look forward to attending one of your meetings in the future. Our company have a small team of developers in the UK, Poland and KC. We have started using git recently and it works very well for our distributed teams. We are actually using the CodebaseHQ service, of which git is a component. We have four or five junior programmers in our KC office who would like a half day workshop on git. Can you recommend somebody who can run something like this for us? Thanks, Ross Cooney

Thank You

Hello friends and neighbors it is your friendly social director again. I wanted to take this time out to thank everyone who helped, attended and participated in our after party as well as coming out to support and attend Maker Faire. Our space would not be much of a space without people like you. I am not only proud to be a CCCKC and Hammer Space member, but proud to call you my friends. Thank you all for the support! And on a side not ... Luis, while running an event like this there are always bound to be little bumps you did an awesome job and I think you embodied the CCCKC Mission. I feel I can speak for most when I say if it wasn't for your assistance this probably would not have happened. I want to also thank Joel, Sharon, Alyssa, Jestin, Bryce and Phillip (sorry if I missed anyone) for their work and dedication to power wheels. One last shout out to Josh "The killer" Bookout for throwing together a bot for my Suminons (Sumo-minions) to fight and to Mike for giving us the idea to hack the Kinect at the fair :). If I missed anyone please, know that you too helped and are most certainly appreciated.

Welcome friends, it is your friendly neighborhood social director from C3KC. As you're undoubtedly aware KC area Maker Faire is coming this week and as only official Hacker Space of the KC metro area we'd like to extend a warm welcome to anyone who monitors this list to both attend the event ( http://www.makerfairekc.com/) as well as coming down to the space after for a maker get-together. There will be Hacker Spaces coming from all around to attend the faire and camp out in the CCCKC / Hammer Space parking lot. The caveat for this get together is everyone needs to bring something. We don't care what it is as long as it's on the list ;) - Soda (12 pack) any kind - Other beverages - Snacks or Food Items - Plasticware - Plates - Bowls - Napkins Please remember when you bring an item, you can leave Friday night in the kitchen area or if you're not a member bring it with you Saturday. If you leave it please label it MF2012. As always thank you for your support and making this event great !! Hal
