MEETING: PLUG This Thurs (5/14)

[PLUG Announcements]

We have two talks scheduled for May, "MySQL for system administrators" 
and "Mesh networks and the Internet of Things"

Topic: MySQL for system administrators
Speaker: der.hans

Description: MySQL is ubiquitous. It will be for many years. A little 
knowledge will go a long way to having a good MySQL setup. A little 
knowledge will also leverage your command line knowledge when working 
with MySQL.

Restorals are paramount, but you can't just backup the files. Databases
have special requirements for proper backups. MySQL has mechanisms for 
controlling access, but general system administration tools can be used 
in addition to the MySQL grants.

MySQL has several database engines available, choose wisely and 
configure it properly before starting.

The slow query log can be useful for finding long-running queries, but
it's not the only place to find useful log information.

The presentation will also cover OS changes and good practices that will
help the system administrator use and administer MySQL without having to
become a DBA.

Topic: Mesh networks and the Internet of Things
Speaker: TJ

Description: An roundup of common mesh networks and an introduction to 
the Internet of Things

The meeting will start at 7pm at The Desert Breeze Substation.  People 
start arriving as early as 6pm, so if you would like to chat for a
