Yōkoso IVU!

The weather was still cool for the meeting but nothing a outdoor space heater or an IHOP can’t fix.

The usual imbibing of drinks, food, and good company at Gulliver’s and El Torito was had and enjoyed by the participants.

The March meeting was a little laid back as trash1e presented a basic overview of Amazon Web Services and showing what is offered from Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for straight server instances, to Lambda serverless computing for running code in an event-driven way, to Simple Storage Service (S3) for storage needs.

The rest of the night was filled with more discussions and idea sharing as always.

Also in March from the 8th to the 11th was the 16th annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE 16x), which a few IVU’s attended to learn, talk in hallway con, and help spread some OSS love. On Saturday night there was Game Night with plenty of food, drinks, and of course games including an Escape Room where DC 562 members and IVU members joined together and kicked the room’s butt with a blistering time of 3 minutes and 43 seconds that was not beaten by anyone else.

We hope that everyone has a good rest of their March and are looking forward to the next meeting on April 13th.
