    Chris gives a short overview and demo of Nagios, a system for
monitoring networked systems and devices and alerting a sysadmin when
devices need attention.

    Brian will demonstrate the Genesi Efika MX Smarttop running Ubuntu
10.10 - and a medley of programs in C, Python, Java, Ruby, Haskell, and
Scala. As a special for BLU, group attendees may each buy one Efika MX
Smarttop at the meeting for $100.

    GNOME 3, released on April 6, offers an exciting new user experience
with a streamlined approach that emphasizes the focus on tasks and
bringing relevant information to the user as needed. GNOME 3 takes
advantage of the graphics capabilities of modern hardware to provide
attractive and easy-to-understand visuals.

    Owen Taylor and Jon McCann, Red Hat's lead developer and lead
designer of GNOME 3, will give a tour of the GNOME 3 user interface and
show how it is motivated by basic design principles. The technology
behind GNOME 3 will also be covered at a high level.
