We meet on the last Tuesday of the month at the Rich Media Institute.
LA Drupal meets monthly and offers a nice place for members and new people to learn and talk about Drupal, a world popular content management system (CMS). RSVP is not required and attendance is free.
Topics:
WorkHabit
LA Drupal is proud to have WorkHabit appear. Presentation info will be posted relatively soon.
Work Habit is one of the leading consultants for the Drupal Content Management System, guiding organizations in the use of this powerful and innovative platform. Our unique services include development, continuity services, stress and performance analysis, and scalability planning. Few organizations have this breadth of experience.

Proposal Group, updates about DrupalCamp LA 2008, and as always, the end of the meeting networking session with the fun and knowledgeable LA Drupal crowd,

Pins
I've been to several meetings and still never won a drupal pin. But I'm feeling like June may be my lucky month...
pins are new
I think Chris Charlton might be giving them out to everyone that shows up this month. Guess we'll all have to go to the meeting this Tuesday to find out ;-)

thanks for posting, here's more
Here are some other projects (Drupal and non-Drupal) mentioned last night.
CacheFly - $25 CDN (Content Delivery Network)
Master-Slave [Drupal] Patch - currently floating around on Drupal's dev mailing list.
Load balance testing: J Meter (Packt Pub has a upcoming book for this)
OpCode Cache: APC
Apache/PHP replacements: Resin, FastCGI, Lighttpd (Packt Pub has a book on this), Nginx

Squid is more meant as a
Squid is more meant as a forward proxy, not so muh as a reverse proxy. For UNIX beginners, you may have much more luck setting up nginx, apache mod_proxy, or Lighty than setting up Squid for reverse proxy/caching.
Also, keep in mind that although some have been fixed, Lighty still has a few memory leaks that could affect sites with considerably high traffic.
Also, if you want extremely simple load testing you can also use the apache benchmark tool, which comes out of the box on most Linux or OSX installs as the command "ab".
Great presentation last night
I'm glad everyone, including our speaker, had a good time. The presentation all night was very valuable and we even recorded it! Yay.
It was cool to see everyone respond very well to our giveaways for all attendees: Drinks from our sponsor for the night (Work Habit), LA Drupal pins, LA Drupal pamphlets, and the "Top 10 Reasons for choosing Drupal" flyer.
See you all next month.

Thanks
Thanks for having me at the DUG. I enjoyed coming down. Sorry we had to run out quickly like that and I wasn't able to talk individually with many people. We'll be down at Drupal Camp and I hope to spend more time talking with folks then.
In the meantime, feel free to contact me with any questions or thoughts about scaling, AutoPilot, or WorkHabit. I'm adam AT workhabit.com.
Speaking of AutoPilot... Any
Speaking of AutoPilot...
Any news on a release?
new release (hopefully) this week
I talked with Adam this weekend and he told gave me permission to share the news that they're working on getting a new release out this week. Apparently one of the things holding back a new release has been that AutoPilot depends on extra PHP extensions that need to be compiled with PHP, and they've been working to remove those dependencies.
AutoPilot 2.0b1 released
