Five people attended the May meeting of the Monadnock Linux User Group.
Thanks to Charlie for scrambling at the last minute to secure the
Peterborough Town Library for the meeting, as our regular venue was
unavailable. Charlie made the iniital announcements - Ed Lawson presents
Scribus in June, Charlie OpenBSD in July, no August meeting, and Patrick
Galbraith returns for another (not-to-be-missed) meeting on MySQL in
September.
Tim Wessels did the main presentation of the evening. Kablink is the
Open Source version of Novell's Teaming product, bought from SiteScape,
Inc., a company that started in Clock Tower Place in Maynard, MA. The
Open Source version had been known as ICECore previously. Source code
can be downloaded from http://www.kablink.org and sourceforge. Tim
discussed some of the history of the project, where and how it is being
used, possible ways to configure it for workgroup and corporate
enterprise use. and reviewed some of the challenges and tricks to
installation and configuration. If you're looking for an Open Source
competitor to Microsoft's Sharepoint, with the ability to create
portals, granularly control roles and access, and scale to thousands of
documents, kablink is worth investigating.
Thanks to Tim for the presentation, Charlie for running the meeting, and
all for attending!
