Roll: Roger, Bill, Frank, Kyle, Allan, Aaron

Upcoming talks:
Jan 12: Roger to talk about GNUplot
Feb 9: Kyle to to talk about network troubleshooting
March 9: The speaker who approached us about talking about IPv6 (Owen DeLong) has agreed to prepare an entry-level IPv6 talk that may be given in either March or April.
April 13: Kyle is also in contact with a potential speaker for April depending on their availability.

According to the NBLUG Bylaws we should have held an election on the first meeting following the Daylight Saving Time change. Because we missed this (more than likely my bad) Kyle verbally announced that nominations are open for a January 12th election during the December NBLUG general meeting. Kyle will send out an E-Mail to the talk list to state that nominations are now open.

At 23 years, gnuplot is one of the oldest free and open
source programs out in the wild world. It runs anywhere and
everywhere. It's an interactive, text-based plotting program that's
quite easy to use, and yet can produce surprisingly complex plots.
Many features of gnuplot are shown in a live demo.

This talk is a continuation of my previous talk on localhost
troubleshooting. In this talk, however, I will discuss common methods
to troubleshoot networking problems on Linux. I will work from Layer 1
(physical connection) all the way up to routing and if time permits,
some DNS troubleshooting as well.

Every year or so you hear about how the Internet is about to run out of IPv4 addresses. When that happens we will all need to be able to migrate to IPv6. In this talk Owen will discuss what IPv6 is and cover how to use IPv6 from a sysadmin perspective.
