Meeting Notes July 7 2008

About 6 people showed up for the meeting.

Short meeting. We only trouble shot Mark’s laptop chatted a little and all left. The meeting started about 8PM.

Mark brought in his laptop and was complaining that he was not able to the SMP kernel module to run. We did some basic troubleshooting and sure enough the kernel was switching to Uniprocessor on boot. He had turned of APCI so there was the suggestion that turning off this may have caused the kernel not able to detect the multiple cores that existed on his HP laptop.
Mark had a copy of a kernel config from another person who ran Gentoo and was going to try that config later. He needed the SMP kernel for Labview.

Mark mentioned that Berry is an OpenSource project that allows sync data from his Debian box to his Blackberry.
He was using Berry to import music and audio files that he listened to while on the commuter bus.
