[mdlug] create a series of courses

[gib at juno.com]

Super.  I think we have other people who would jump in if we start to make this happen. Thank you Pat. I had someone email me privately that he would like to present on Openshift on March 12th.  I told him we need to find out how long Bob will need for the compiler talk. This is the first time in a while we've had multiple people stepping up to offer to talk. So, I want to encourage this. How do we coordinate these? Bob, how long do you want to talk in the March meeting? If you want to take the whole day that's great.  If a shorter talk was what you were planning then that is great too. Maybe we do the virtual machine and containers talk (Openshift and Virtual box) in April. The April meeting is just before Penguicon. I was hoping we could plan some content to deliver at Penguicon. If we want to do that we could cover several quick topics in our April meeting walking through some of the ideas that started this email.   We would do the following in about three hours: create the:virtual machines, webpage, database and program. The program would tie them all together, that is. the program runs in a virtual machine and is activated by a webpage and updates a database. Do we have people who know enough about this to make this all work?

Selecting an operating system that you are familiar with the first time will help.  I would like to create a series of courses that start very easy then build skills as you go along. Something like this: 1. create a virtual machine using Linux and learn some common commands 2. Create a webpage and start a web server 3. Create or start a database and input some records 4. Create a program and use the webpage and program to update some database records. I just need a lot of time or a lot of help. Any volunteers?

I would be happy to help on the VIM and web server sections.

I have written a document for the UDM labs on how to install a virtual
machine guest and host setup using virtual box.
It goes into installing virtual box, installing the guests OS, (at the
time it was 12.04 ubuntu but its clear enough to allows for most any
host), installing guest extensions and some tweeking of setting to make
it run faster.  I also have a little for Mac's Parallels VIM software but
I do find VirtualBox seems to work with more systems both host and
guests.  Not much on VMware desktop, other then the ESXServer versions.

Done a bunch of Fedora, Ubuntu, Raspberry pi and some large iron
web server setup and congigurations as well.
