About GatorLUG
GatorLUG is a Linux User Group located in Gainesville, Florida. The purpose of the group is education, support and advocacy for open source, open data formats, and open communication standards.
We meet the third Wednesday of each month. Most meetings are held at a place where food and drinks are available. The meeting announcement will always list the physical location of the meeting. If we have to cancel or change a meeting time it will be announced in advance on this website and posted to LINUX-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU.
The meeting time will be 6pm unless we have announced a change. We'll do our best to keep the meeting time and place as consistent as possible. All regular monthly meetings will have an agenda posted to this website and announced on the LINUX-L list. You are welcome to come early, get a bite to eat and socialize before the presentation starts. Meetings will officially finish by 8pm - that's the goal anyway.
You can often find some of us hanging out on our official IRC channel: irc.freenode.net #gatorlug
Meetings are free and open to the public.
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

In this article, author Aleksandr Rezanov discusses the data preparation for generative text-to-image models to accelerate work on video generation services to be used in TV series and films. He explains how data is prepared and can serve as a starting point for creating custom datasets to develop proprietary models.

Tom Akehurst explains strategies for overcoming microservice pain points like environment dependency and slow development. He advocates using realistic API simulation at scale, supported by contract testing , API observability, and GenAI integration. Learn to compose observations, simulations, and contracts to maximize confidence and reduce the toil of maintaining realistic, up-to-date mocks.

A recent 9-hour Azure Front Door (AFD) outage was triggered by a faulty control-plane configuration change that bypassed safety checks due to a software defect, leading to a massive blast radius and affecting M365 and Entra ID via Identity Coupling, exposing a critical architectural anti-pattern in centralized edge fabrics.

Voices, an open-source text-to-speech project, was designed for applications running on Java 17 or newer. The library requires no external APIs or manually installed software. Audio files can be generated for various languages based on dictionaries or OpenVoice. InfoQ spoke to Henry Coles, creator of Voices and Pitest.

Meta's PyTorch team and Hugging Face have launched OpenEnv, an open-source platform for standardizing AI agent environments. The OpenEnv Hub features secure sandboxes that define the necessary tools and APIs for safe, predictable AI operation. Developers can explore, contribute, and refine environments, paving the way for scalable agent development in the open-source RL ecosystem.
