Monday 24 June 2002 Ruben Safir will present an NYLXS In-service in
downtown Manhattan.
This meeting is free and open to the public.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 pm on the second floor of the Killarney
Rose, a traditional New York City bar with steam table. The Killarney Rose
is at 82 Beaver Street, not far from Wall and Pearl Streets, in the
Financial District of Lower Manhattan. Go to the back and up the stairs.
This meeting will be an In-service and an eating and drinking meeting.
Here is a blurb from Ruben Safir:
from="Ruben Safir's forthcoming NYLXS Journal article"
edit-level="medium">
A client recently asked me to implement a tape backup program which is easy
to use for non-sysadmins. Of course, I chose to implement a solution with
standard free software tools.
The reason for writing this program in C and GTk is two fold. GTk is the
most common free X based widget set available today. Over the past few
years, I've written a lot of web based applications, but I wanted this
program to run only from the server, and not depend on raw TCP/IP for it's
implementation. Backups can include hundreds of thousands of files and
trying to get them processed and their control and general meta-data
conveniently presented turned out to be more interesting than I had hoped.
Ruben Safir is founder and head of NYLXS and New York Fair Use and his
company Brooklyn Linux Solutions offers complete free software solutions
for businesses and governments and non-profit organizations of all sizes.
Ruben Safir is also the CEO of Brooklyn.
