I've been a member of UUASC for over a decade. Disclaimer: I assisted the LA Chapter start up. Unix user meetings rarely touch on Hot Drupal topics, and I thought this one comes close. VozBox is a Drupal based endeavor, and Mobile web author and Mobile Apps are so very hot right now, I thought as a service to some of our members, to cross post this Announcement.

This month in Orange County brings us a presentation by UUASC member
Kon Wilms. Kon will talk to us about the details of his experience
with building a large scale, mobile video, content delivery network
from start to finish.
This talk will go into the nuts and bolts of building a complete
end-to-end mobile streaming service capable of delivering video and
audio streaming to mobile handset and tablet device profiles with an
emphasis on Android and iOS.
Technologies covered on the backend will include NGINX, LVS, UCARP,
Gluster, Mongo DB, Beanstalk/Memcache, Streaming application platforms
(the good, the bad and the ugly), and glue code (PHP, Java, shell)
required to bind the services together.
Technologies covered on the front end (to a lesser extent, and mostly
for demonstration), will include Mobile browser issues, OS caveats and
HTML5.
Bio: Kon is Chief Architect at StreamingMediaHosting Inc. and has been
working on video management, compression, encryption and delivery
systems for the last 15+ years.
POST-MEETING ACTIVITIES: Join us at the Pilsner Room, within walking
distance.
AFTER HOURS ACCESS: If you get locked out, you can call me at (949)
288-3287 and hopefully we can get you into the building. Please try
to arrive before 7:00PM to avoid problems. When you arrive on the 8th
floor you will find that the doors to the Oracle office are locked, we
cannot leave them open because it will set off the alarms.
CARPOOL INFO: If you are interested in joining a carpool with other
members, please post an email to the general list, uuasc@uuasc.org ,
requesting carpool info.
PARKING: Parking is free in the parking lot by the Pilsner room if you
stick around for the post-meeting gathering there. The lot closest to
the Oracle building is pay only, there is a 24/7 automated kiosk at
the parking lot exit.
DIRECTIONS: Exit the San Diego Freeway (I-405) at MacArthur, go north
(away from the airport) to the signal at Main Street (the first
cross-street), turn right to Gilette (the second signal on Main
Street). Turn right onto Gilette. At this point you can turn right
into the parking structure at McCormick and Schmick's or turn left and
enter the parking structure close to the 17901 Von Karman building.

Gillette and Main.
The UUASC is for all persons using Unix either personally or
professionally, or interested in learning more about Unix. We
recognize all varieties of Unix, including (without prejudice) HP/UX,
Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, and BSD. This is a good place to meet
others with similar interests and broaden your skills and
knowledge. Generally, meetings include a technical presentation on a
hardware or software topic of current interest to the Unix community
and a round-table discussion of current topics of interest to the
group. We are always looking for interesting presentations and your
suggestions are most welcome.
Please join us this month and bring along your friends or
co-workers. Also, please forward this announcement to others who may
be interested and feel free to post it to wherever you wish, both
electronically and physically. If you receive more than one
announcement by email, please let us know so we can keep our lists
current.
