Greetings All,

You are invited to join us at the next GatorLUG meeting in "Innovation Central" Gainesville, Florida.

The Laboratory is closing at the end of this month. So, this will be the last month we will be able to enjoy the hospitality that Larry extended to us in this venue. My sincere thanks to Larry for allowing us to take over your entire space on the third Wednesday of the month and for all the great food and drinks.

Meetings are always free and open to the general public.

GatorLUG Meeting Agenda for October 17, 2012

6:00 - 6:30 Announcements / General Discussion

6:30 - 7:45 Highly Available Apache for the Masses | Martin Smith, Dan Stoner

(Attempts at) Highly Available, Fault Tolerant, Distributed Apache for the Masses

The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to as Apache, is a web server software notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web. [1] Apache httpd has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April 1996, and celebrated its 17th birthday as a project this February. [2]

The Apache HTTP Server Project is an effort to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server for modern operating systems including UNIX and Windows NT. The goal of this project is to provide a secure, efficient and extensible server that provides HTTP services in sync with the current HTTP standards.

Martin Smith and Dan Stoner are members of the Linux team at the UF Computing & Networking Services' Open Systems Group. They will be presenting an evolution of designs for highly available, fault tolerant, and distributed Apache servers for bulk hosting customers.
