Ariel Shlosberg (Physics + CS Major) will be giving a talk about quantum computing that should be mostly comprehensible to the standard Mines student! This talk will be tomorrow (Thursday, the 12th) at 6pm. We will be in a new room this time... please note the new room: GC 297 Also, we will be voting on a few things I mentioned in an email before break. If you are interested in running for Secretary or Linux Help Guru and have not emailed me already, please email me ASAP. You must be present at our meeting to participate in voting. See you there! Let me know if you have any concerns. Jack -- Jack M.

Grab a friend, take a break, and come enjoy some free food and drinks with your peers and CS faculty (all of whom will attend). It?ll be fun. Don?t miss it!

Tech Talk: Pancakes and Waffles, How DevOps @OFI Gets Done Jeremy Hudson, Head of DevOps January 24th, 5:30pm Brown W210 Abstract Evolution or revolution, change is constant. To support a complex and diverse technology portfolio in the enterprise, we had to rethink our process, culture and conjure up a bit of code to make it all work. DevOps is more than just a single team, a new way of doing things or a product. It takes many people, flexing their technical muscles, crossing organizational boundaries, while creating some cool technology. We'll share what we do and how we do it, including how we organize and operate, what apps we buy, build and use, and why we embarked on this journey to dramatically change how OppenheimerFunds delivers technology. Bio As the head of DevOps for OppenheimerFunds (OFI), Jeremy is a consummate player-coach, leading technology teams from infrastructure to code to infrastructure-as-code. Along the way, implementing highly available systems, and scalable automated technology. Prior to joining OFI, Jeremy was the Founder and Chief Technology Officer with SimpleNETWORKS, building a modern tech stack, software-as-a-service platform, for deploying and managing application delivery. Previously, he was the Director of Technology Operations at Placeable and Director of Information Technology at Ping Identity. ---------------------------------- Tracy Camp, Ph.D. ACM Fellow; IEEE Fellow Division Director and Professor of Computer Science Colorado School of Mines 303/384-2184 email: tcamp at mines.edu Homepage: http://www.mines.edu/~tcamp/ CS Division: http://cs.mines.edu _______________________________________________ CS_majors mailing list CS_majors at mailman.mines.edu https://mailman.mines.edu/mailman/listinfo/cs_majors ----- End forwarded message ----- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

This time is right before the weekly LUG meetings, so just stop by a little earlier and I can help you out. If that doesn't work for you and you'd like to meet at another time, then just send me an email and we can find another time to meet. If your question is a big one (like installing a Linux distro), please arrive earlier in the session (5:30 or earlier); otherwise there may not be enough time to finish that up before the meeting starts. I'd be happy to help after the presentation if we do run out of time though. Finally, feel free to invite others (non-LUGers!) to come to the session, I'd like to help anyone I can and not just do homework for the entire hour!

It should be really exciting; grab your friends to tag along again. And if that was not enough, there will be a LAN Party!! this Friday. If you are new and unfamiliar with what this is; we will be getting together, playing games, eating pizza, and overall having a fun time. It will start Friday at 6pm and go until we get very tired. If you are new to LUG, I highly encourage you attend if you can. Bring your friends as well. Also, tonight there is a Tech Talk from the CEO of POSSIBLE Mobile. There will be free pizza as well. If you are interested, here's the details: Date: TODAY, 2017-01-31 Time: 6pm Location: BB W280 See you at all three events. Jack -- Jack M.
