[kwlug-announce] Meeting Monday, 7pm: Elixir, Homelab Tours (July 2026)

[Paul Nijjar]

Happy July! Because Canada Day fell on a Wednesday this year, we will
have a rare July KWLUG meeting on the first Monday this month. 

This month we will start with a presentation from Chris Nicoll, who
will tell us about Elixir, a fault-tolerant, highly concurrent,
functional programming language that runs in the Erlang VM. 

Next several members will give us tours of their homelab setups. In
addition to the herds of servers and workstations people use to keep
their houses warm at night, they will show us some of their
dashboards, oddball hardware (Nintendo Wiis as homelab components??),
interesting applications and more. If you are looking for some
inspiration for your own home setups, this is the showcase for you. 

In addition to our tech meeting we have a dinner-only meetup scheduled
for Wednesday, July 22, at Crabby Joe's. If the weather cooperates the
hope is to have dinner out on the patio. RSVP to dinner at kwlug.org if
you are interested. 

That's all I got. This Monday's meeting start at 7pm, online at
https://webconference.kwlug.org/room/kwlug and in-person at DC 1568 at
the Davis Centre Library at the University of Waterloo. See
https://kwlug.org/node/1455 for location info.
