The seems to be awesome! I’m going to include a little description from wikipedia, and a video from youtube. I’ve founded this very interesting, but I’ve some dubts about the performance… We’ll see!

From Wikipedia:

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is an in-development standard specification defining a JavaScript API for writing web applications utilizing hardware accelerated 3D graphics.[1] It achieves this without the need for browser plug-ins, on any platform that has a compatible browser implementation.

Technical Details:

Technically it is a binding for JavaScript to native OpenGL ES 2.0 implementations, to be built in to browsers. The WebGL specification itself is designed to mirror that of OpenGL ES 2.0. It is an extension of the canvas HTML5 element.

This is a good news for the European Space Agency, it seems that they are doing something useful, I really hope that this Sat will bring some new information about the ice melting, although this is a well described thing caused due to the temperature rise up.
Anyway, I’ve attached in the following Iframe the page of the project.

The next meeting of LRUG will be on Wednesday the 11th of November, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm. Our hosts Skills Matter will provide the space, at our new venue The Crypt (it’s very close to our previous venues). Despite the new venue it’s still important for people to register so Skills Matter know how many people to expect and set the room up correctly.
Agenda

We’re hoping for a “Ruby in Sys Admin” theme this month.
John Arundel: Is Your Sysadmin Dumber Than a Hamster? How to automate your sysadmin

out of a job, and into a more interesting job.

John offered to do a talk about Puppet and Chef covering some or more of the following topics:

* Why aren’t sysadmins as smart as developers?
* How do you build 100 servers in a day?
* How to automate the dumb stuff
* Why it’s quicker to do things more slowly
* How to convince your boss you need an automated infrastructure
* Why automation gives you staging and continuous integration for free
