Come see OpenPogo's lead developer and founder, Mike Staszel, speak live about plug computing - plug computing's past, where we are now, and how OpenPogo plays into the future of the little devices.

The Chicago Linux User Group is hosting us at a meeting from 3 P.M to 6 P.M. The OpenPogo presentation will last about 30-60 minutes. It's a public meeting and you don't have to RSVP.

It's at the Institute of Design (350 N. LaSalle Ave Room 201, Chicago IL 60610, 6th Floor).

I'll be talking about all 3 popular plug computing devices (Pogoplug, TonidoPlug, and the Sheevaplug).

Tell all of your friends in Chicago or anyone who might be interested!

If anyone has any ideas for the presentation, I'd love those as well (anything from CloudEngines?).

I'd really like to attend this and if I can, I'll try to find you when I'm there!

Mike, send me an email tomorrow to jed@cloudengines.com and we'll coordinate how to get you some Pogoplugs that you can give away at your event. Sounds like it's going to be a great night - I'm sorry we can't be there.

Jed.

I just wanted to give a shout-out to Mike for a job well done at the Chicago GLUG meeting on Saturday. Most of the attendees (as far as I could tell) had never heard of plug computing, and Mike did a great job of pointing out the capabilities and advantages of a plug versus a full-size file server. If the stampede to the front of the room to grab one of those free Pogoplugs (thanks a bunch for that, Jed!) was any indication, he generated quite a bit of interest - I know I'll be adding one to my Christmas list this year.

Mike, if you'd like to come back to give another talk on some of the more technical aspects, whether usage- or development-based, we'd love to have you again.

Thanks again for the Pogoplugs Jed and thanks for having me, ChicagoLUG! I only touched upon the basics of OpenPogo and kept it pretty minimal in terms of what I personally do and focused more on the Pogoplug's amazing capabilities instead. If anyone's interested in OpenPogo's development, we're looking for some people all around (web development, simple script development, package compilers/testers, graphics designers...anyone and everyone can and is encouraged to join in. I never really talk about the future of OpenPogo but have some pretty cool stuff planned (no, not "ooh awesome new kernel and improved led support *snort*, *fix glasses*," but actual user stuff to make OpenPogo more fun and useful.
