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.

Platform engineering has to be approached from a socio-technical perspective, and shaped by all stakeholders, not just developers, Sergiu Petean said in his talk Driving the Future of Insurance through Platform Engineering. Platform success depends on written principles that endure change while embracing change as the main design force, to enable teams to build, run, and release software.

He explains the architecture of DocDB and shares how Stripe leverages a custom zero-downtime data movement platform to perform horizontal sharding, version upgrades, and multi-tenant migrations - all while maintaining the strict consistency required for global commerce.

Dropbox recently explained how it improved storage efficiency in Magic Pocket, the company's internal immutable blob store for storing user files at scale, by redesigning compaction strategies to reclaim space from severely underfilled storage volumes. The system now periodically reorganizes valid data into new volumes, allowing old, partially used ones to be cleared and reused.
