You can get your hands on a RHEL 8 Beta download with a valid license at no cost via the Red Hat Developer Portal: https://developers.redhat.com/rhel8/ Feel free to give it a spin. :-) (If you have used Fedora 28, it will feel _very_ familiar.) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: RHEL 8 Beta Launch Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2018 04:00:02 +0000 From: Garret Arcoraci <gpavks(a)rit.edu> To: Justin Flory (RIT Student) <jwf(a)mail.rit.edu> Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta available for download Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Beta is the most developer-friendly version of Linux ever.

Dinner with Solomon after FOSS Hours today
by Justin W. Flory 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hi all! Solomon Rubin (Serubin), former RITlug president / FOSS@MAGIC friend, is in town for a few days this week. We were thinking of going to Han Noodle Bar after FOSS Hours (leaving RIT around 6:45pm - 7pm): http://hannoodlebar.com/our-menu/ We'll have a few people with cars leaving from FOSS Hours if you need a ride and want to come. However, since this is the final week of classes, don't worry too much if this is too last minute to make changes to your own plans. Hope to see some of you tonight! -- Cheers, Justin W.

Progress update: Telegram <=> IRC <=> Slack bridge downtime
by Justin W. Flory 04 Dec '18

04 Dec '18

Hi all, We are working to restore the Telegram and Slack bridges to IRC after an unexpected outage last week. We expect service to be restored no later than Sunday, Dec. 7th. Some issues were not anticipated in RITlug's infrastructure and data was lost. Previous configurations were not backed up. At the same time, some bugs in the bridge software interfered with reliable up-time. We expect fixes upstream soon¹. On the infrastructure side, I am setting up basic automation for the bridge software. This should make continued use more sustainable. The work is now happening on GitHub². The delay in restoration of service is because of this additional work for more sustainable work (also in the weeks approaching final exams). We apologize for the downtime of the bridges. Service will be restored no later than Dec. 7th. You can follow progress in any of the links mentioned prior. Feel free to reach out to me or reply on the list if you have questions or concerns. ¹ -- https://github.com/RITlug/teleirc/milestone/4 ² -- https://github.com/FOSSRIT/infrastructure -- Cheers, Justin W.

[feedback wanted] devel. environment of coming-soon FOSS@MAGIC website
by Justin W. Flory 02 Dec '18

02 Dec '18

Hi all, I'm requesting feedback on new documentation that explains how to create a development environment of new FOSS@MAGIC website: https://github.com/FOSSRIT/fossrit.github.io/pull/35 If you have time and can spend 10-30 minutes running through these steps installing Docker and creating a development environment, your feedback is valuable and helpful for me. The goal is to simplify making new contributions to the website. The new website is not officially launched yet, but keep an eye out for more news and updates about this in 2019. If you can leave feedback about the development environment setup, it is super insightful for me. Thanks for your time! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
