STLLUG - June 16, 2022

Create a split background image. The left half should have a light grey background, and the right half a darker, modern shade of blue. On the left half, illustrating a retro-style Caucasian sysadmin with a laptop amidst command line interfaces, snippets of code, and a server or VM icon. On the right half, illustrating a sleek, modern Black automation engineer with a laptop that displays the Ansible logo. Also, incorporate playbook and gear icons. In the center, include the Apache logo (feather) symbolizing the commonality between both methods. Add subtle VM icons, perhaps as small server racks or cloud icons, slightly above the split to symbolize their dual usage. The entire composition should balance both sides visually with a clear dividing line enhanced by a slight shadow or glow effect.

SLUUG - June 8, 2022

Design an engaging image that conveys the essence of time-efficient, organized backups. The background is a calming gradient transitioning from a light to dark shade of blue. In the center, there's a large, white open folder. Surrounding it are smaller folders or files, each labeled with timestamps like 'hourly', 'daily', 'weekly', etc. and color-coded. To the bottom right, there's a small, recognizable logo signifying data transfer, and to the bottom left, an emblem representing secure digital communication. Floating above all this are subtle icons of clocks and calendars, reinforcing the time aspect of the backups. This image will not include any text.

STLLUG - May 19, 2022

Create an image with a gradient background transitioning from dark blue at the top to light blue at the bottom. Place a prominent logo in the center of the image. The logo should be white and resemble a loop that intersects itself in two places. Surround this logo with smaller, simplified icons: a stack of servers on the top left, a browser window with a gear on the top right, a network flow icon on the bottom left, and a whale on the bottom right. Connect these icons to the central logo with thin, light blue dashed lines. Add subtle shadow effects to the icons and the central logo to create a sense of depth. The color scheme should be consistent, with the icons outlined in white or light blue and accentuated with dark blue.

SLUUG - May 11, 2022

Create an image with a dark background transitioning from deep navy blue to black, adding the sense of secrecy and protection. Add dimly lit digital data trails moving across the scene, suggesting network data traffic. Place a glowing, semi-transparent onion in the center, with several layers peeled back to symbolize encryption and anonymity, using TOR as a theme. Add various small server icons around the onion, indicating relay nodes in an overlay network, and scatter subtle variations of the simple purple onion logo, some slightly tilted or faded for dynamism. Insert a subtle global map placed in the background, showing relay positions as points of light, connecting these positions to the central onion with digital lines. Make the aesthetic clean, high-tech, with subtle glows and shadows, ensuring the image components work harmoniously without overpowering the central onion symbol, thereby creating a narrative of a networked, anonymous system.

STLLUG - April 21, 2022

Create an image with a dark gradient background transitioning from deep navy blue at the top to black at the bottom. The central focus is a large, transparent schematic of a motherboard with RAM modules. On the left side of the motherboard, include the Tux penguin logo which is the mascot for Linux. On the other side, place the logo of the Raku language, a programming language that succeeded Perl. Around the motherboard, incorporate small, clear icons and symbols representative of system calls and data structures, such as pointers, memory addresses, and fragments of binary code. Overlay a subtle, semi-transparent process tree diagram in the background. Accentuate the main elements with a faint, glowing outline, and use jagged lines or swirling paths to emphasis the image's overall complexity. The overall appearance should be clean, professional, and compelling, without unnecessary clutter.

SLUUG - April 13, 2022

Create an image highlighting the theme of network security and functionality. The scene is set against a dark, textured background representing a sense of cybersecurity. At the center, a stylized representation of a router is situated, with rays emanating from it symbolizing network connectivity. Icons related to pfSense, FreeBSD, DNS, DHCP, WiFi, VPN, and Firewall are logically arranged around the router. The image also contains undulating lines signifying network traffic management and subtle, Matrix-like code running in the background. The color scheme combines deep blues and greens for a sense of security, with bright whites and yellows serving as accents. Ensure all elements are symmetrically balanced and the PfSense logo is the most visually prominent.
