If you didn’t notice the block on the left, there is a meeting this Thursday at Altera, same as usual. Paul Garrett (N-Able Technologies) is planning on presenting on extending the AD schema. Please try to be there by 19:00, and there should be a sign with a number to call.

If you didn’t notice the calendar icon, the meeting for this month is this Thursday.We even have a prepared topic this time around. Paul Garrett is willing to talk about extending the active directory schema and display specifiers if it would be of any interest. I think so, as Active Directory appears to be part of most of our lives. At least we could get some useful info into it.

For those who can make it, There will be a meeting this Thursday at Altera in Kanata.I’m blaming a busy schedule, a lousy software upgrade, and oncall for this one. For those interested, there will be an O’Reilley book up for grabs as an incentive. Topics can include sendmail, webmin, and why do we have those exchange servers anyway?

It’s the best turnout we’ve had in years.It’s sad when 5 people attending are the best you can show. Thanks to Kelly for hosting at Altera, and to Walt, Bruce, and Ed for attending. It was sort of like old homecoming week, given that four of us have worked together at various times in the past. We did discuss the concept of topics for future meetings, as well as to how we can increase the attendance.

Note: This offer no longer exists Ever wonder how to fit all those O’Reilly books on a bookshelf? Try using a virtual bookshelf and an O’Reilly subscription service. Yes, this is a plug for a service, but it is actually useful, and given how much I’ve personally spent on O’Reilly books, this looks like a good deal to me.  If you’re not yet familiar with the O’Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf, it’s worth a look.
