Hello Jimmy,I'd be interested in hearing that presentation - sub-$60 sounds like a pretty attractive price to me. So far, you are the only name on the prospective officer list, plus you have the advantage of already having been an officer - the odds are in your favor.
I didn't have a machine to install Ubuntu on either (and if I did, I still wouldn't) but it's still fun to turn out and kick it with some like-minded individuals. We got a Shuttle PC donated to us that we need to think of a use for, by the way. Pentium 4/40GB/512MB I think, or at least something in that neighborhood.
Hope all's well, Ryan On Thu, 24 Apr 2008, Jimmy C. Chau wrote:
Hey Ryan,I wouldn't mind doing the same thing again next year, but there seems to be some members who are much more active than me; I wouldn't mind if one of them becomes VP either. Hope your install party went well (I didn't have a computer available for an Ubuntu install). Good luck with your finals.-Jimmy C. Chau <jchau@xxxxxx>P.S. The Slug is great (but it doesn't support Ubuntu yet). Might be able to give a presentation about creating a new sub-$60 Linux-based computer at the next meeting.

The LUG must be re-registered for next semester by May 1st. In order to complete the re-registration process, we need three undergrad officers. If you'd like to be a LUG officer, please send an email to rmullen at bu with a brief paragraph explaining why you'd be good at it. You MUST be an undergrad and you MUST be around next year.A certain priority will be given to existing officers.If you're not sure whether or not you should apply - there's as much responsibility as you're willing to take on. It's pretty much all voluntary stuff, so as much as you're willing to contribute is as much as is necessary.Thanks, Ryan _________BU LUG: http://lug.bu.edu.
